As a Susan G. Komen 3-Day Coach, over the years I have been unable to actually participate in an event as I am more often than not, on the ground helping execute our 3-Day weekends. Of course that surely does not mean that I do not believe in the cause and the mission and want to contribute.

Now more than ever I understand the importance of breast cancer research and helping support those now in the battle of, and for, their life! In just the last 9 months, I have lost 3 friends to this disease while many other friends are fighting this beast today.

When I walked in 2015 in the Michigan 3-Day it was a bucket list item....the experience impacted me so much that I decided to make a career out it, and for the last 8+ years I have done just that. Since that first walk, my own sweet Mama was diagnosed in Februrary of 2019, and thank you Jesus, she is doing awesome today! 

Knowing what I know and learning the stories of breast cancer warriors, sharing hugs with survivors and those living with MBC, standing shoulder to shoulder with famiIy and friends as we remember those lost, I know that every dollar makes a difference. Everyone is not as lucky as my Mama....and me. I am grateful that I can participate in honor of her rather than in memory of her. 

I'd love your support as I commit as a 1-Day walker for the San Diego 3-Day! If I can walk in honor or memory of your loved one,  please share that with me and I will think of a meaningful way to show that support on my walk!

Thanks so much.....and if you can't support me I encourage you to donate to a cause that affects your heart.
