Every Donation Counts

Every Screening Counts

Your Gift, Their Story

¡°There are people and stories behind this diagnosis. There are people behind cancer, there are people who are benefiting from these treatments, from this research. So although it might not directly impact you, that doesn't mean it's not important. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't advocate for change.¡±

¡°My purpose in life is to advocate for breast cancer patients. My purpose in life after having breast cancer is to share my story with women, to give them hope. I¡¯m able to relate to what they're going through or what they're about to go through and give them the support they need.¡±

¡°I felt like I can't be a dancer. That's who I am. I can't be a mother. That's also who I am. So who am I? I want to be remembered as a ballerina that is strong and went through cancer, came back, and inspired other people to do the same.¡±
