Shop NowIn early November 2023, I received a call from my mother who shared with me what her doctor had told her. My daughter and I knew something was wrong because she kept telling us her doctor kept sending back for more tests. We told her, "the doctor is sending you for more tests because she saw something and was trying to make sure it was just that". She told me she indeed had Breast Cancer. I really did not know what to say but my mom said, "they can take both of them for all I care" Less than 5 minutes after I got off the phone with my mom, my sorority sister called and told me the she too was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I tell you I was at a total lost for words.
Fast forward to January 2024, I went to her pre-op appointment to ensure I knew how to help them with her healing process. I felt like I was back in school taking notes and asking questions. On Feb 9, 2024, my mom had a mastectomy removing her left breast. My dad and I stayed in the room until they took her off to surgery. He actually wanted to stay until she got out but the doctor said he should go home because after all he was still recovering himself from having a stroke on the freeway 3 days after my mom told us she had Cancer. I can tell both of them were stressed out. After the surgery was over, my mom was home recovering for about 3 months before she even stepped a foot outside. 7 months later, she has seen her surgeon who says shes healing good.
Because both my mom and soror are healing, I am now doing my part to walk to honor them.. Please make a small donation to help me reach my goal of $500. You can click the link or send the money directly to me $Reba1920, zelle/paypal mspetite105@yahoo.com. Once I get enough donations I will add it to my total and pay the fees!
I thank you in advance

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:
Fighting breast cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change through the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN)
Ensuring no one feels alone at any point on their breast cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship, and, for some, the end of life.
Investing in breakthrough science to find more - and better - treatments, uncover factors that may cause breast cancer, and improve patients' quality of life.
Ensuring that all people have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive breast cancer. ACS and ACS CAN believe all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

Shop NowThis isn’t what I wanted.
Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.
There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.
How We Support the American Cancer Society
Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.
