My mother, Arlene Faye Patchell, died of breast cancer at the age of 40 leaving behind six young children. At age 45 I was diagnosed with the breast cancer. My mother's cancer history was concerning enough for me to have genetic testing done. The results were that I was positive for the BRACA2 gene...." breast cancer gene". Carrying this genetic mutation would increase my risk of developing breast cancer by 50-60% !   I had three small children and could not bear the thought of them losing their mother to this horrible disease. After researching the BRACA2 gene,  I realized that having a double mastectomy and a complete hysterectomy was the best decision for me to live a cancer free life. I am grateful for all the breast cancer research and education provided by the New England Breast Cancer Alliance.

Runway for Hope is an annual runway show featuring breast cancer survivors as models wearing creative and fun costumes styled and crafted by people in our community. In addition to being the New England Breast Cancer Alliance's biggest fundraising event, Runway for Hope aims to empower and connect survivors, as well as to highlight their strength, resilience, and courage.

 Funding research is my way of continuing the fight!
