There is passion behind everything we do at Wings of Karen. This passion is shaped not only by the personal battles with breast cancer by the founder of Wings of Karen, but also by the unyielding desire to reach out to all those affected by breast cancer in a positive, uplifting way, and in the process, funding the research that will find a cure.
It is a race to save lives, and every day brings a new opportunity to make a connection, energize a survivor, empower a new generation, and raise the crucial funds needed.
The 5k Bra Dash® is a celebration of what we CAN do as a community to join the fight against breast cancer.
I have had many loved ones, both friends and family, become diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The two people who affected me the most was my Nana and my Mom. My Nana passed when I was 12 from the disease and her death was my first loss of someone that meant everything to me. When my mom told me near Christmas in 2014 that she had Triple Negative Breast Cancer, I was so scared that I was going to lose her too. I was scared for her, my sister, and as a 36 year old woman with a daughter, I was scared for me. Fast forward to a year later, I am happy to say that my mom is ONE YEAR CANCER FREE!!! I am on this walk to be supportive to her, the other thrivors I am fortunate to be near. This walk will be for myself, my sisters, and my daughter who all run risk of getting this diagnosis. Wings of Karen supports research here in the Pacific Northwest. I appreciate what they stand for, the type of research their fundraising goes to support, and the community that it has created.
Thank you ahead of time for your thoughts, appreciation, and support!!
