Empowering Hope: Fundraising for a Breast Cancer Warrior, My Mom

Donate Now

As some of you may know, my mom, Barbara Bryan, was diagnosed with breast cancer over the holidays last year. The one year milestone is coming up and it has been hard on my family. My experience with breast cancer has been similar to the Greek mythology story of Sisyphus. Sisyphus was a Greek ruler, every day Sisyphus rolled a boulder to the top of a mountain, just to see it fall back down to the bottom. Day by day Sisyphus continues to fail, but he is resilient . Some people view Sisyphus’ story as sad and hopeless, but this story conveys tenacity and endurance. Like the boulder Sisyphus pushes, breast cancer can feel like an overwhelming burden, but a constant reminder to never give up.


My mom has had multiple surgeries and continues her on-going treatment.  Like Sisyphus, my Mom never gives up. She smiles at me every day and is determined to stay positive and active. She is participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk in Dallas, and on Sunday October 29th, we will walk 20 miles together.  I will be supporting her every step of the way including raising money through the Komen foundation. We will be team Barbie Kay, as my grandparents and friends called her Barbie growing up.  We welcome anyone who would like to join us for the walk especially if you live the Dallas area.  I am setting a team goal of $10,000 which I realize is a challenging goal but not nearly as challenging as facing breast cancer.  Any small donation will help me achieve this goal, but please do not feel obligated to donate.  Your prayers are just as powerful and appreciated!

Thank you for your support of my mom as she continues her fight!

Wade Bryan
