This October, I’m lacing up with my amazing team, Hakuna Ma Tatas, for the 4th Annual Rides & Strides Funraising Walk — because every woman deserves access to early detection and the chance to thrive.

I’m passionate about women’s health, both personally and professionally. As a pharmacist and healthcare communicator, I believe deeply in shifting our focus toward prevention and early detection giivng every woman the chance to stay healthy, informed and empowered.

On a personal note, I live with PCOS and have family members who have battled breast cancer. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful early screening can be — and how devastating it is when access isn’t there. Unfortunately, too many women in our community don’t have access to mammograms for routine screening, something that can make all the difference in survival rates.

The funds raised through Rides & Strides will help provide screening services for 400 more women in 2026. That’s 400 more chances to catch cancer early, 400 more reasons for hope, and 400 more lives protected.

I’m walking not just for those fighting now, but for those who never got the chance to screen early enough. Together, we can change that.

Join me in taking steps — literally — toward a future where access to screening isn’t a privilege — it’s a given. ?

Donate, share, and help me protect boobies, one stride at a time!
