Why I Am Running Across The Country to Support the American Cancer Society
On December 23rd, 2006, I lost my best friend, my mentor, my confidant, my mom to stage IV triple negative breast cancer. Her battle with breast cancer sparked my passion for cancer research and advocacy. For many years now, I have been an American Cancer Society and ACS Cancer Action Network volunteer. These two organizations are pivotal in providing the research dollars necessary to push the field forward, in addition to resources for cancer survivors, thrivers, and patients, and advocacy efforts to maintain both of these efforts.
Cancer has affected so many people I know and love that it's inspired me to join this American Cancer Society event. Taking part in this event gives me the chance to make a difference and honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research and services for people dealing with cancer. I'm also participating to inspire hope for those facing the disease and raising money for the American Cancer Society's event to help save lives from cancer. I hope you'll consider signing up too.
Funds raised support cancer patient programs and groundbreaking research that can help save lives. This event also celebrates over 15.5 million cancer survivors nationwide. 15.5 MILLION. That's huge. That's why I'd love your support. Will you join me? And if you can't would you be so kind as to make a donation?
