On September 26, 2021 I lost my mom to her battle with metastatic Breast Cancer after a 10+ year battle. I lost my godmother/aunt to the same in 1995. My grandmother had it as well. Numerous family members in various generations have fought this battle. My grandfather had prostate cancer. two aunts passed away from different cancers. My uncle beat prostate cancer and a cousin beat ovarian and uterine. Those are just a few stories in my family. We all have similar stories!!!
Without fundraising my mom wouldn't have been able to receive the many treatments she tried. There would be no advances in cancer research. Advances that have brought new treatments. Advancements that allow for me to go for more in depth testing to a high risk breast cancer screening assessment centre. Advancements that are changing lives and lengthening lives of those fighting cancer.
Please consider donating to me as I walk this relay for the second time without my mom!
