Five years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I am thrilled to share that I am cancer free and a survivor today. Many of you will remember that I was in total shock and denial. "How could this be happening to me?", was all I could think. My daughter had just gotten married and the wedding went off without a hitch and within the week we found out I had breast cancer. It was so hard to hear this. I remember saying "How do you go from the high and joy of the perfect wedding to the low of a diagnosis like this?" Long story short, I was blessed with a wonderful supportive family, surgeons, oncologists, NP's, nurses, and radiologists that got me to where I am today. While my cancer was caught early and I am considered cancer free it still put my body through a lot and I still get anxious prior to every mammogram. I would love to raise money to help find a cure so no one ever has to go through this no matter where they are in life.

 

So, this year, I joined the ONE Komen community and registered for the Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE.  I am dedicated to Komen's ONE mission of ending breast cancer forever, and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts.

Your support helps us get ONE step closer to a world without breast cancer. Funds raised help support breakthrough research and provide assistance to those facing breast cancer today who need our support.  Whether it’s emotional support via Komen’s helpline, financial support through Komen’s treatment assistance program, or help navigating their care journey, Komen will be there for them.

In moments like this, your generosity can make a real difference. Together, let’s show breast cancer patients there’s a whole community standing by their side.

Will you please join me in this fight by making a donation today?
