Welcome to My Personal Page

Kim Provenza and Terri Brown, colleagues at Florida Blue, found themselves on a shared journey when they were both diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite the challenges they faced, they were grateful for the support they received from each other, their employer, colleagues, family, and friends.

 

Kim, diagnosed during a routine Mammogram in May 2023, underwent an active treatment plan that included multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. She finished active treatment in February 2024. Throughout her experience, she realized that not everyone has the same level of support at work and home. This sparked an idea to create a network that would provide guidance and assistance to those battling breast cancer, particularly those who lack a strong support system.

 

In May 2024, Terri had a routine Mammogram that led to further tests, a biopsy, and a cancer diagnosis on June 4, 2024. She is currently on an active treatment plan after having surgery on July 23, 2024. Terri feels blessed and thankful for the amazing culture experienced at Florida Blue, which has supported her through all the challenges a cancer patient faces.

 

Both Kim and Terri are grateful for the support they've received, but they know that not everyone is as fortunate. They're now on a mission to help those who lack access to essential resources and support.

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.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
