In 1993, while on at a family reunion, my grandmother's doctor contacted her to tell that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That could have been the end of her story. But thanks to life-saving treatments, she was able to liver cancer free for another 25 plus years. Not only did she see me grow up, go off to college, but she experienced me getting married, have children, and obtaining my terminal degree. She died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 95 in 2022. She was the impactful matriarch of my family and left over 100 offspring.

Breast cancer touches the lives of millions every year. But together, we can make a difference! So, I am excited to announce that UNCG School of Nursing will be participating in this year’s Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk, and we want YOU to join us on October 26, 2024 at the Downtown Greenway at 8 am! 

Together, we can achieve something truly special. Let us unite for a cause that affects so many. Sign up today in the link below and be part of our team! Join the fight against breast cancer. Together, we can make a difference!
