My name is Ashley and I've participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in past years - in my early twenties, during my pregnancy and then with my infant daughter in a stroller. Last year I was only one month into my diagnosis and then a mere 6 months later my mother would also be diagnosed. I’m happy to say we are both on the other side of this disease to be able to participate this year.
If you have never been to this race it is an incredibly supportive, empowering high energy event that truly makes patients feel like there is a community by their side. Please consider making a donation to find a cure for this disease that effects 1 in 8 women.
