When I started this journey 16 years ago, little did I know that breast cancer would become a four letter word to me.  Due to my involvement in the walk, I learned I have a family history of breast cancer.  I've also watched my friends fight this disease and win while others lost.  There was no rhyme or reason to it.  The only commonality - they were all human.  

In March of 2021, I learned that my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, at the young age of 81.  She had a choice do chemo or let cancer win.  She chose to fight.  I continue that fight for her with each step, just as I have for everyone I know who has been touched by this disease.  I will not give up until we live in a world without breast cancer.
