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. Your gift will help us reach our bold goal to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the U.S. within the next decade!

Welcome to My Personal Page

In nursing school, I learned that cancer cells are sneaky little assholes that cause massive destruction to one’s body. In 2024, I had an up close view of both the physical and emotional destruction as I watched my badass bestie win her fight against breast cancer. Watching her struggle I knew that I would do anything within my power to help anyone with that same battle. That’s why I am participating in the Race for the Cure again this year. I am dedicated to Komen's 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. I will again be matching every dollar our team raises.

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.
