Far too many of my loved ones have had to bravely face the fight against breast cancer. My Aunt Juli, who we miss every day, courageously battled the disease for over 13 years. Throughout it all, she never let cancer dim her kind and loving spirit. I will always cherish how much of an impact she made in my life and wish so badly she was still here with us. Both my Grandma Krebs and Aunt Janel have also bravely fought and continue to fight this disease. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been raised and surrounded by such strong, resilient women. Their strength continues to inspire me to raise awareness and support survivorship. 

On August 3rd, my family and I will walk 20 miles to raise awareness, fund research for a cure, and honor the remarkable women who face breast cancer with strength and dignity. Thank you for your support and for helping us spread awareness.
