Welcome to My Personal Page

Why I am Making Strides with Heidi's Heroes:

November 2008 in between meetings and picking up my boys from school I received a phone call that changed my life forever. Dr. Delaney said “I hate to do this over the phone but I have your biopsy results…you have breast cancer. I am so sorry.” Those 4 words you have breast cancer started me on my journey to not only defeat this ugly disease in my body but to fight to make sure that others never have to hear those same 4 words. This wasn’t my last cancer diagnosis. If you think facing life is overwhelming, think about how overwhelming it is to be faced with a life-changing potentially life-ending cancer diagnosis. It’s a game-changer.

I believe that 1 person can make a difference (look at Gordy Klatt) which is why I raise money to fund vital cancer research and I am asking YOU to help by donating to Heidi’s Heroes!

I believe that we all have the power to be better and do better. As long as you are alive and breathing, make every day better. You have the power to change the face of cancer by donating to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. YOU CAN HELP! DONATE TODAY! 

[Grab a Kleenex before you read the rest] April 9, 2018, I was with my Mom and Dad when my Dad was told he has stage 4 cancer with only months to live. A strong active man went from hiking to hospice in less than 3 months. We were heartbroken! My dad died of cancer March 19, 2019]

I’d like to close with my favorite quote from Stuart Scott:

“When you die, it does not mean you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live. So LIVE, LIVE! Fight like hell. And when you get too tired to fight, then lay down and rest and let somebody else fight for you.”

Dad..I’ve got this! I'll fight on in your honor!

 

I'm supporting the American Cancer Society and you can, too!

Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.

There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.

How We Support the American Cancer Society

Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
