UPDATE MAY 9TH !  My 18th walk is done!  Check out my thank you video on this page.

 My heartfelt thanks to all of you for surpasing my fundraising goal and raising over $39,000!

  We ARE saving lives folks!!!!  You are part of the team that has helped me raise over $750.000 since 2001!!!!  Together we CAN and DO make a difference.  Your well wishes will carry myself and the other 2,000 or so walkers, volunteers and crew as we march around Washington DC and Maryland the weekend of May 6-7.

I walk, because I can; because I want to share a huge survivor story and to remember.....  I walk because of all of you! 

Here are just a few comments I have received during this current fundraiser, these keep me inspired to continue the fight.

** Thanks, Deb, on behalf of all of us with breast cancer. I'm doing well at 2 years out, but some of my friends are not so fortunate. Let's all keep the research well funded and our hopes high.

** I have donated for a number of years in memory of my two sisters who both survived breast cancer, but have passed away ). One year ago today, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. While it was not a shock given my family history, it was an eye opening experience. Thanks to regular screening, my cancer was discovered and treated early, and I am doing fine. Thank you for all you do to raise awareness and funding.

** Sadly I must ask you to put Annie under "IN MEMORY OF" this year; she died of breast cancer in 2016. Annie was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2013 and given 3 months to live. She immediately became a student of nutritional methods of fighting cancer, and aggressively fought the cancer using food and supplements. She had another 3.5 years of active and enjoyable life, some of which I was able to share with her.

** Thanks, Deb, on behalf of all of us with breast cancer. I'm doing well at 2 years out, but some of my friends are not so fortunate. Let's all keep the research well funded and our hopes high.

** Thank you for walking in my mom's name. It means so much to me!

** 17 year survivor.

** Keep up spreading your cancer awareness.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer June 2015. I went through radiation and so far so good and I go for a check up the first week of April and barring any issues I can go back to a routine of once a year for my Mammo.
