On January 15th, I heard the words that no one is ever prepared to hear..."You have Breast Cancer". Later that week after extensive testing I was then told I was HER 2+, a very aggressive breast cancer...but curable! The reason it is curable is due to many years of research! My oncologist told me, the cancer that is growing inside of me now, up until 1999, was a "Death Sentence". I am alive and fighting this battle due to 12 years of research and dedication by a team of doctors lead by Dr. Slamon. They never gave up and had the drug Herceptin approved in 1998. This drug has saved me and millions of women's lives!
So, in order to give back I have decided that on Saturday, October 24th I will be walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure with Team Lord Abbett! This will be my 2nd year involved in this wonderful cause, but this year it is a little different, as I will be walking as a SURVIVOR! Research is why I am still here, but we need funding to have the research! 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. Or if you would like to walk with me by my side, please register for the walk under my page!
Alot of people ask "What Can They Do For Me"? I have realized that supporting Susan G Komen is what I need right now. Your support helps us get one step closer to a world without breast cancer. Your support can save many more lives! 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!
Will you please join me in this fight by making a donation today?
I love each and every one of you that has been by my side from day 1! Words can't express how loved I feel!
