One person is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes in the United States. That's a pretty startling statistic. No one should have to face this disease, so in order to create a future without breast cancer, I walk in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
It's a 60-mile walk over the course of three days that raises funds for breast cancer research and community programs. Last year, I had an incredible experience participating in this event. I raised $2300 and met so many wonderful friends along the way.
This year is a VERY special year for me. Sadly one of my favorite aunts was diagnosed with Stage 4, Triple Negative Breast Cancer earlier this year. The news hit our family like a ton of bricks. It makes you realize that at any moment, you or a loved one could be diagnosed with the awful disease.
Walking 60 miles was hard, but I will keep walking until breast cancer is no longer a threat. I walk because everyone deserves a lifetime. I walk because I can. I walk to support my aunt and my family and my friends.
