My Story
Breast cancer has been in my thoughts all my life since my Mother and all the woman on her side (Sister, Mother, and Aunts) passed away from breast cancer. When my Mother passed, she was only 58 years old and I was 27 about to be married in 6 months. This made me take my breast health seriously performing yearly testing in my early 30's.
I'm a breast cancer survivor, catching my cancer at Stage Zero thanks to the Dr. Nancy Elliott at the Montclair Breast Center in Montclair, NJ. Based on early screening and detection, I had surgery for DCIS and breast reconstruction in January 2011 and took Tamoxifen for 5 years which has kept me cancer free!
This year, I was appointed on the Komen Advisory Board-North Jersey and registered for the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK Walk. 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.
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 today who need our support. Whether it’s emotional support via Komen’s helpline, financial 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.
