WHY I WALK IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER

Why I Am Making Strides?

I do it to honor my mother's memory and for so many others, like her, who lost their battle to cancer as well as for those who were lucky enough to beat it! I watched my mother die a slow and painful death from this horrible disease and felt absolutely helpless. It left me forever changed. However, her memory is not tainted by those years of suffering, instead, she taught me and all who knew her how to love selflessly and do good unto others. It is because of her and for her, that I strive to make a difference. 

MY MOM!


In the years after her passing, I lived in fear of my own morality. I walked in her memory and then became complacent, as many of us do in life. However, in 2013, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Self-fulfilling prophecy? Destiny? I don't know. What I do know, is that I am lucky to have survived and to be here to appreciate my family, friends and my health! 

My own health scare taught me to never take life for granted. I appreciate every day I wake up. Life is a GIFT to be shared in many ways.


I was/am truly BLESSED!

So, in conclusion, I am "Making Strides" to honor my mother's memory and to celebrate my own survival! I invite you to do the same thing, whether by donating or walking with me. If you have lost someone you love, whether it was to cancer or not or if you just want to feel empowered by doing something positive, I encourage to join our team, MOMMY WARRIORS.


It is about bringing awareness and raising funds, so diseases like breast cancer and so many others, will not take the lives of so many innocent people. It is about MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
 
Why I Support the American Cancer Society
Every day, the American Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it throughout their journey to get well. They are investing in innovative research to find, prevent, and treat breast cancer.

I have signed up to walk and fund raise for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2017 at Miami Marlins Park.  I hope you will consider joining my team and/or making a donation in support of my efforts.

Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you so much!!!
