Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Miami-Dade County Presented by Baptist Health Cancer Care

Team CBBC: Caro Beat Breast Cancer

I was diagnosed with breast cancer (triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma) when I was 31 years old on Decemeber 27th, 2023. I felt like my life was turned upside down and time became frozen. And it was. I had to leave my job which I loved, avoided seeing friends and family since I was immunicompromised and felt that I was in this dark cancer corner where no one could reach me. I had to go through 16 rounds of chemotherapy, rounds of immunotherapy, and multiple surgeries. I continue to receive immunotherapy. I felt like I lost who I was. I lost my hair, my eyebrows, I could barely get out of bed and I did not notice the person looking back at me in the mirror anymore. It was and continues to be a very hard time in my life. 

 

I am proud and happy to say that I have had a complete response to treatment and am slowly healing. I not only am trying to heal physically but trying to heal mentally and emotionally. But I know it will take time. I am also happy to say I am back at work and trying to get back to my normal life although I know that having breast cancer and this experience has changed me forever. But regardless, I know I am still me at the core and I want to help in any way I can. 

 

Cancer not only changed my life forever, it affected the people that I love - my friends and family. We hope to raise money to find a cure for this horrible disease so no one has to go through what me and my loved ones went through. 

 

The funds we raising will sustain critical research and provide services for people trying to cope with their breast cancer experience. Believe us, every dollar really does count, so we are asking you to please donate today. Thank you so much.

Thank You to All The Donors

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

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.

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.
