June of this year, my world shifted profoundly with a breast cancer diagnosis. The news was overwhelming, marking the beginning of a journey filled with uncertainty but also immense strength. July brought surgery—a pivotal step in facing this challenge head-on. Now, as I await radiation therapy, I reflect on the resilience that has carried me through these months.

This journey has not been one I’ve walked alone. The unwavering support from my mom, my sons, my daughter-in-loves, my siblings, and my beloved family and friends has been my anchor. Their love, encouragement, and presence have been a source of light during the darkest days.

As I participate in the Breast Cancer Walk, I carry not just my story but the stories of countless others who battle this disease with courage. Each step I take is a testament to the strength within us and the power of community.

Your support in this fundraiser fuels hope—not just for me but for everyone affected by breast cancer. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for standing with me on this journey.

The money our team raises will fund research to discover more effective treatments, as well as vital patient support to help connect people with things like breast cancer education & information, emotional support, patient navigation, financial assistance and so much more.

Ending breast cancer needs all of us. United together, we can support those who need help today, while fearlessly searching for tomorrow's cures.
