During my freshmen year of highschool while struggling with many different challenges myself, my mom was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. While i knew her doctors were there to help and it wasn't terminal, i was terrified not only for myself but for my mom as she faced this new challenge. The thought of seeing her so weak made me sick, however i was wrong, this was not only her strongest time but i feel it made me stronger as i cheered her on and supported her in every way i could. I continue to try and support her as she shares her story and love being able to help those who may not have had as much love and support that my mom did. She is an inspiration to me everyday and i hope it inspires others to help the cause.

Each one of us have been affected by cancer in one way or another.  Whether it is you who has battled or is battling cancer,  or that of a dear family member or close friend or even a charished pet.  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 10th 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 4, 2023.
