Cancer is something that has touched all of our lives in different ways. Whether we personally have battled it, a friend has, or a family member. I am participating in AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer, in support of Holly Sullivan. On August 17, 2016, Holly learned that the "pulled muscle" she'd been trying to ignore for months was stage 2 breast cancer. Seven weeks later she had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Followed by months of chemo. As a 36 year old stay-at-home mom with an 8, 6 and 3 year old, she was (for one of the first times in her life) speachless.
In the words of Holly-
"A cancer diagnosis changes you. It knocks you off your axis. Some of that change is for the better, some for the worse. For me I have been humbled. I am married to an incredibly supportive, understanding husband...who I did not appreciate as much before. I realized I have the best friends. Who have been generous with their time and love, who I have cried with (and mostly laughed) through this all. I've always loved Boston but now I see it as a world-class medical center. I truely value my amazing babysitters, neighbors...people who are there in a pinch. You are only as strong as your army. Mine KICKS ASS!
Breast cancer will never define me! It will only make me stronger, feistier, more caring and more understanding."
My goal is to raise $1,800 for this walk. Please join the fight to end breast cancer by donating to the cause. Even if it is just a small amount, it would be greatly appreciated!
