This is my FIRST Purple Plunge and I am so excited to have to opportunity to raise money for this cause. Sadly, cancer has touched my family multiple times. In August 2017, I had a personal battle with a brain tumor (Grade II astrocytoma) that had the potential to turn cancerous at any moment. My father has survived breast cancer and lung cancer, twice. My godmother and beloved Aunt Jill passed from a Grade IV Glioblastoma (agressive brain cancer). My paternal grandmother, whom I never met, battled breast cancer. My sister-in-law lost her parents to lung and pancreatic cancer. I have close friends, here and gone, that have battled cancer. I plunge for all those I hold close to my heart.
We may not be able to stop the disease at this point but we can try to help those with this awful disease. This is why I have decided to join the 6th Annual Purple Plunge. This great charity is raising money to help those affected by cancer. Please help me by making a donation, joining my team or coming out to the great event on March 2rd, 2019.
