My personal journey includes a number of deeply emotional experiences with loved ones who have battled cancer. Watching family members and close friends face the physical and emotional toll of this disease has been both heartbreaking and eye-opening. Each diagnosis brought fear, uncertainty, and pain—but also moments of incredible strength, resilience, and love.

These experiences have left a lasting impact on me and have fueled my commitment to support the American Cancer Society. I want to help fund research, provide resources for patients and families, and contribute to a future where fewer people have to endure the struggles I’ve witnessed. Supporting this cause is my way of honoring those I’ve lost, standing with those still fighting, and hoping for a world without cancer.
