Dare’s Story
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Breast cancer is what stole my 37 year old sister’s life last year.
In May of 2022 she felt a lump in her breast. She went to her doctor, but because she was breast feeding it was assumed to be mastitis and she was placed on antibiotics. In November of 2022 when she weaned my nephew the lump was still there, but larger. She knew something was wrong. Her mammogram showed stage III cancer. Six months. Six months of delayed treatment. Six months this cancer got grow and take over her healthy body. I think about those six months everyday and the anger almost consumes me. I’ve decided to turn that anger into something positive on the anniversary of her death by joining the Susan G. Komen mission.
This year, I joined the Komen community 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.
