Let's Give Cancer the Boot!

Breast cancer. We all know about it. We know of people, friends and family that have had it. We know people that have beat it, and we all, unfortunately, know those who have been taken from us because of it. But this year, breast cancer hit all too close to home for me: I became one of those people.

If you've been following this blog, you know that in December 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, specifically - Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. In January, I underwent a double mastectomy, and I'm currently in the process of reconstruction surgery. My diagnosis and treatment were swift, and today I am gratefully cancer free. But my journey from hockey mom to cancer survivor has not been without it's emotional and physical ups and downs, and I will now forever have breast cancer as part of my life.

So it's probably no surprise that I registered for the Komen Race for the Cure. I want to make an impact in the fight against breast cancer. I want to make sure that early intervention will save more lives, like mine. I want to make sure that more women can "Give Cancer the Boot," like I did.

And I want to do it with you by my side. Just as certainly as I couldn't beat cancer without a vast network of support, the Susan G. Komen Foundation needs your support as well to continue to fund its essential research.

So won't you please join me? Join my team and walk with me, or simply make a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts. You can donate online with your credit card by clicking the button above my fundraising thermometer.
