Many of you know that I fought and won a battle against breast cancer just over 10 years ago.
My sister-in-law, Patti, was diagnosed less than a year after that.
Two of my friends and colleagues had been diagnosed a few years prior, and two more in the years since.
Nearly 298,000 women and men are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the US every year - it is the #1 cause of cancer deaths in women ages 20-49.
And despite the advances in treatment efficacy and options in the last 30 years, did you know 118 people died every day from this disease in 2023?
Patti and I have formed a team to walk the Komen 3-Day Event in Denver this September to raise funds for ongoing research…and we would appreciate your support.
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 we are walking and why we are raising money – to end breast cancer forever.
Please help us make a difference in the fight against breast cancer today, by donating to my Susan G. Komen 3-Day fundraising account. Together we can make an impact!
