Why am I walking?

Today, there is more hope than ever for people facing breast cancer. However, there is much work to be done to find promising new treatments, increase awareness about the importance of mammograms, help all women get access to screenings and care, and connect those impacted by the disease with the information, day-to-day help, and emotional support they need to wage their battle against breast cancer. 

As many of you may already know, my mom, Stacey, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and recently underwent surgery. Luckily, all of the cancer was removed and she is going to be fine. Thanks to organizations like the American Cancer Society, millions of dollars have been raised for research in finding a cure for many types of breast cancer. However, there are many women who have not been as lucky as my mom and we need to help them. 

I believe that hope for a world without breast cancer starts with me. That’s why I'm walking in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event on October 10th. Not only is this my opportunity to join my community to fight back against breast cancer, it is a way to inspire hope by raising funds and awareness to help those facing the disease and save more lives. And you can be a part of it, too.

I have signed up to walk and hope you will join me in my effort by signing up to join my team, in honor of my mom, or making a donation in support of my participation. Please click on "Visit My Team Page" above to get started. 

Hope starts with us.

Thanks for all of your support,

Alexa
