I have made a commitment. I will not give up until we put an end to breast cancer. In August I will once again be heading to Boston to walk in the Komen 3-Day for Breast. This will be my 14th walk and I can't wait to join the rest of my crazy team, Friends With Heart, as we fight together to put an end to this terrible disease. This dedicated group of men and women have become part of my family. We support each other across every step of this amazing journey. We are united in our commitment and together my pink family and I will continue to fight until we find a cure and make breast cancer a thing of the past.
Why do I walk? Because four generations of my family has battled this disease. Because my sister is BRCA positive and is living with Stage 4 breast cancer. Because my niece found out she is also BRCA positive and has almost a 90% chance of developing breast cancer before she turns 50. She has some very tough decisions ahead that no one her age should have to face. This is why I keep walking. This is why I will not stop until we find a cure!
Please consider making a donation and supporting me as I take an amazing journey in the fight to end breast cancer! 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. We are raising awareness and the net proceeds help support research, scientific programs and community-based breast health and education programs for women and men facing this terrible disease. Every step and every dollar makes a difference. That is why I’m walking, and raising money— to end breast cancer forever. I walk for my sister and my niece. I walk because I am committed to A World Without Breast Cancer!
