A huge thank you to everyone who donated last year and the year before. This year we are going to try again and I appreciate your continued support.

It's been four years since I was diagnosed with stage 3 metastatic breast cancer. I am still undergoing treatment and not a day goes by without some sort of reminder of my battle. I was amazed at how many people - literally everyone I knew - had a close friend or family member who had been through the same.

I've decided to join the Run For the Cure to raise funds to ensure that those programs that helped me so much remain in place and, hopefully, improve.
