A little bit about my background .... When I was diagnosed with Stage 2 ductal infiltrating carcinoma breast cancer on December 30, 2010, it felt like a cosmic joke. How could this be happening? I was the one who recorded healing harp music and developed innovative research to help newly diagnosed cancer patients feel a sense of peace and comfort during this frightening and confusing time. It didn’t take long to see the truth of what I had been avoiding it was much easier to stay busy creating ways to take care of others rather than slow down and take care of myself - physically, mentally and emotionally. Up until this point, my life appeared to be full of love, joy and happiness. What many never saw was the underlying stress and daily uncertainty of living with unaddressed anxiety. It soon became clear that one of the main lessons I needed to learn during this journey with cancer was how to slow down and lovingly take care of myself. My first diagnosis included a surgical lumpectomy, removal of 11 lymph nodes, 6 rounds of chemotherapy and 33 radiation treatments. My second diagnosis included a right mastectomy, full hysterectomy, and taking Tamoxifen for 7 ½ years. My experience would have been very different without the American Cancer Society. Their role in establishing mammograms as a standard of screening enabled early diagnosis in 2010 & 2012. Being adopted, their funding for genetic testing into BRCA1 and BRCA2 provided a peace of mind after I tested negative for both. Their support of clinical trials that led to the use of Tamoxifen offered me continual support for years and cancer.org was an invaluable resource of information, especially for my mother who was the best patient advocate! I am truly grateful for the many Life Lessons learned through my journey with breast cancer as they continue to help me remember: “Change is constant, so dance within the moment,” “When I’m caught in doing, I’m resisting Being,” “A shift in belief expands perceptions and alters the experience,” and “It’s important to take time for myself.” Today, I love inspiring and empowering others with: Healing Harp Music - www.MusicForCancerCare.com Loving Life…All of It A Walk with Cancer, Compassion and Consciousness book Conscious Self-Care videos and programs CEU approved for professional care providers Creating Harmony Within & Around Us talks, programs and trainings Natural products and essential oils as a doTERRA Wellness Advocate

Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.
We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021
Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors 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.
Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
