Our Goal
Our goal now is to provide assistance and instill hope, as well as toempower women to proactively manage cancer through preventionand early detection. My wish and prayer are to eliminate fear andeplace it with knowledge in the face of this disease.
My Story
At the age of 56, I received a diagnosis of Breast Cancer. As I
observed so many women suffering with this same illness, I found
myself wondering, "Why me?" However, I quickly shifted my
perspective to ask, "Why not me?" Cancer, including Breast Cancer,
has a history in my family, and once I acknowledged my own
diagnosis, my personal journey began. This path included four rounds
of chemotherapy, 14 preventative treatments, opting for a bilateral
mastectomy, and having complete breast reconstruction. Yet, through
it all, I continued to RISE
