Hi friends,

This August 2026, I?ll be lacing up my sneakers for my 10th Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk in Boston?a 60-mile journey over three days to help end breast cancer. When I joined my first walk back in 2009, I had just moved to Atlanta.  I joined the Feet to Beat Breast Cancer team and have been walking with them ever since.

In 2021, I walked for my sister, Kirsten, who was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. It quickly progressed to Stage 3 and led to a double mastectomy. Now, in 2026, I walk for her again?her cancer has returned as recurrent metastatic adenocarcinoma. She?s back in treatment, and I?m walking every step for her. But I?m also walking for you. Because we all know someone affected by breast cancer.

The 3-Day is more than a walk?it?s a movement. If you?re donating in honor of someone, please email me their name at alexn4171@gmail.com and I?ll proudly carry it with me on our team?s banner. My goal is to raise $3,000, and every dollar truly makes a difference. Please consider supporting me in this fight. It?s hard work?but not as hard as chemo or radiation.  Not as hard as hearing bad news. And not as hard as saying goodbye.

With gratitude, 

Alex
