In 2022, breast cancer became very personal for me.
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer. What followed was a year I never could have imagined—months of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgeries, and a whole lot of determination, prayer, love and support from the people around me.
Today, I am incredibly grateful to say that I am a breast cancer survivor and 3 years NED (No Evidence of Disease)! WooHoo!!!
That is my WHY.
This year, I'm participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure not only for myself, but for every woman who has heard the words “you have breast cancer,” for those currently fighting, for the survivors beside me, and in memory of those we've lost.
I know firsthand how much research, resources and support matter. I also know how powerful it is to feel like you aren't fighting alone.
So I'm racing with a very grateful heart—and with a pretty big goal: to help make sure fewer women ever have to take this journey.
If you'd like to support my fundraising efforts, I would be so grateful for your donation. Every dollar helps fund research and provide support for people facing breast cancer today.
I got my second chance. Now I want to help fight for someone else's!
Let's get one step closer to a world without breast cancer.
