The Why
My journey began in 1978 with my mother's diagnosis of stage 4 Breast Cancer. Needless to say, I have been 'living' with this disease since I was eight years old. In 2014, I was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 1 DCIS HER 2 Neg PR positive. Given the choices of a lumpectomy, mastectomy, or double mastectomy, I chose the latter. I was a supporter for many years participating in walks/races, spreading awareness, etc. It wasn't until I transitioned from supporter to survivor that I truly understood how short life is-when we come face to face with our own mortality. It was then my trauma and tragedy turned to passion and purpose.
I am not alone on this path; I have had friends, family, & colleagues who have been diagnosed with this horrible disease. It not only causes hardships on the diagnosed (mentally & physically) but also on the family. My purpose & passion is simple: to unfurl acts of kindness for those dealing with Breast Cancer; hence the Pink Ribbon Effect.
How truly wonderful it will be to fund raise/hold events to be able to provide items or services for those embarking on this tumultuous journey whether a mastectomy, double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and / or reconstructive surgery, etc.
