This year, I’m stepping up for a cause that’s close to my heart. I’ve created this fundraiser to support my dear friend, Nikki Ferola, and the countless others who are battling or have battled breast cancer. Nikki isn’t just one of my closest friends — she’s family to me. She faced breast cancer head-on with courage, grace, and an unshakable spirit, and I’m proud to say she kicked its ass. But anyone who’s been touched by this disease knows that the fight doesn’t end with the last treatment. Survivors and their families carry the journey with them forever. By participating in this event, I’m honoring Nikki’s strength and resilience while helping raise awareness and funds to support ongoing research, treatment, and patient resources. This is for Nikki, for those still in the fight, and for the warriors we’ve lost too soon. If you’re able, please join me in making a difference — whether it’s through a donation, showing up to cheer us on, or simply sharing this fundraiser. Together, we can stand strong, fight hard, and keep hope alive
