I participated in my first 3-Day in 2014, shortly after a dear friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. What started as a show of support for a friend, who walked while fighting the battle against breast cancer, continued through 2018. I took a break in 2019, and planned to sign up again in 2020, and we all know what happened next.

I have remained in touch with my team, and I have had more friends diagnosed with breast cancer (or fighting it again and again), and I have friends who have lost loved ones to this disease. I am in a place where I believe it is time to walk again. So, 6 years later, I am back.  I believe in this cause, and I believe that we must continue to walk until there is a cure, so that maybe my daughter won't have to worry about this disease.

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’m walking and why I’m raising money – to end breast cancer forever.
