“Being a Leader of Hope brings an opportunity to raise awareness and much needed support for the fight against cancer. Everyone I know has been impacted in some way. For me, it was the loss of both parents. It is my hope that I can honor their memory while making a difference in this much needed battle.”
“I am an avid Breast Cancer Advocate and Mentor. I pride myself on looking at the glass half full instead of half empty. Having a positive mindset amid your diagnosis and treatment is so hard. You can’t really see the forest through the trees so to speak. I am living proof that you can turn things around in a positive way during and after your diagnosis.
Loving and living life. Keeping only positive uplifting people around. “
“My support for ACS goes deep with my personal experience of cancer in my family and personal lifelong friends that have suffered this horrendous disease. My father-in law is a survivor and his influence on my life has been tremendous. His will and grit to fight when he could have given up gives me the strength to keep going.”
