It’s my incredible honor and privilege to walk 20 miles on August 17th with my friend for life, Amanda. 

We met on day one at Lehigh University and she (along with a group of amazing girls) became my soul sisters. We’ve gone through some shit - haven’t we all! - but the worst moment came when I picked up my phone last year to receive the devastating news that the results came back positive for breast cancer. I would do anything to take this burden from her, but I learned (as we all do at some point) that life isn’t fair and the only way through is… through.

Amanda is the toughest, strongest badass and also the softest most gentle friend, wife, and mother. She and the other survivors in my life (looking at you Cindy, Aunt Kim, and Linda) are worth every step of the 20 miles we’ll tackle together on Amanda’s Team. 

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.
