Good health takes on new meaning as I age, particularly when I consider that 20 years have passed since my first breast cancer diagnosis and 5 years since my second diagnosis. I am so fortunate to have been given the gift of health all these years. I owe much of that good fortune to the advances in treating breast cancer. I have family and dear friends who have battled this illness and known too many who have lost their lives. We are a long way from achieving a world without breast cancer.
Please support me as I commit to an incredible challenge. The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. It will be hard, but it’s not as hard as breast cancer. It’s not as hard as chemo. It’s not as hard as getting bad news at your latest scan. It’s not as hard as saying goodbye. And that’s why I know I have to do this. That’s why I commit. That’s why I’m walking and why I’m raising money – to end breast cancer forever.
