In 2019 my Aunt Pam died from sepsis in her lungs, this was caused by the radiation used to treat her breast cancer years before.  2 years ago my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, she went through the treatment, had a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery to protect herself from further cancer.  And a little over a year ago my friend Ruth passed away due to complication from breast cancer treatment.  In the United States 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer and 1 in 43 will die from the disease.  We need to find a cure for this cancer that does not cause other health problems in the future.  Pam, Tanya and Ruth and all of our mothers, sisters and daughters deserve a better treatment and outcome for breast cancer!

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.  I will be walking in November of 2025 in San Diego. If you see me out on the trails training for this walk, a word of encouragement is greatly appreciated!
