It’s important for me to be apart of relay for life because of how much cancer has impacted my life. Since being a little girl and having my grandma battle cancer, fight for years but unfortunately Christmas Day 2011 lost that battle, I saw how that impacted my mom and my whole family and know that raising money to find a cure for this devastating disease is important.
As well as finding out April 2022 my mom being diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma and 2 brain tumours, it was a very hard 6 months watching her go through this without her mom but it was inspiring to see how much fight she gave to battle anything that came in her way. October 6th 2022 was the worst day of my life. Losing my mom has been the biggest challenge that I have gone through and knowing how much this disease has taken from me, as well as so many others, I want to walk and raise money to help people battle this once and for all!
