There is no match to fierce positivity and hope

I feel so honored to be chosen as one of the 40 for Runway For Hope 2025!  I have always made it a point to spread cancer awareness, since my original breast cancer diagnosis in 2011, participating in many sprint triathlons, century rides, 5Ks and golf tournaments to raise much needed funds for research and patient/family support.   I feel Runway For Hope will give me, yet another platform, to spread crucial awareness on early detection and raise funds for research and support for breast cancer patients and families throughout New England.  I hope to show, on the runway, that metastatic breast cancer can still look strong and healthy!   Thank you so much to my trainer, Shaun M., for taking on this challenge and supporting me in this goal!  💪🩷

I am one of 6 women in my family to receive a breast cancer diagnosis! However, after multiple genetic tests over the last 13 years, it is still deemed to be non-genetic in nature.   I will continue to test and be vigilant for the sake of others in our family.

In April of this year, I heard the words “your breast cancer has metastasized to your bones”.   I knew in my heart I needed to dig deep and remain positive and fight again, as it was the best medicine the first time and I’m convinced it will be again! 

I am always asked by those who know me well, “How do you remain so positive?”    My response, “I’m so fortunate to have been taught, in my youth, that positivity prevails and always pass along a smile as you never know the impact you may have on others”.   Glass half full fills other’s cups and, in return, feeds our soul!   

Thank you for this opportunity to help spread awareness and thank you to my incredible circle of friends and family who believe so strongly in my positivity, courage and hope! You lift me up and fill my cup!  Love to all!  🩷
