Your gift could provide a one month supply of Tamoxifen, a drug used to treat breast cancers that rely on estrogen for growth, to a patient in need. Every 60 seconds, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer. Your gift will help save lives! Your gift could provide a screening mammogram to an uninsured or underinsured person in need. Your gift could provide a breast prosthesis for an uninsured or underinsured woman in need.

This year marks five years as a breast cancer survivor. Around this time of the year in 2020 as I was nearing the end of a year-long treatment regimine, I began reflecting on my experience and thinking about what was next. I wanted to do something meaningful as a result of my cancer treatment.

I was already familiar with Susan G. Komen and its vision for a world free from breast cancer. As I looked through their website, I learned about the depth of their advocacy work through its Center for Public Policy. I felt this was a place I could do something with my experience to hopefully impact how breast cancer is diagnosed and treated in our country. Right away, I signed up to be an Advocacy Ambassador.

As an ambassador, I've had the opportunity to travel to DC with hundreds of other survivors and supporters to advocate for legislation that impacts early diagnosis, treatment, and research for breast cancer.

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 who need our support. Whether it’s emotional support through Komen’s financial assistance program or navigation services to break down barriers to care, Komen will be there for them.

Ending breast cancer needs all of us, and your generosity can make a real difference. Together, let’s show breast cancer patients there’s a whole community standing by their side.
