Why I am Participating:
I am a wife of 46 years, mother of two and grandmother of four. I’m also a professional photographer. This year I added a new fact about my life; I am a recent breast cancer survivor! I was diagnosed with high grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on March 8. I underwent a mastectomy and breast reconstruction on April 26 and finished the reconstruction surgery on August 8. Fortunately, the cancer was caught early and hadn’t invaded my lymph nodes so I was spared chemo. The mammogram I had last December alerted the radiologist that something wasn’t right, and after several more mammograms and two biopsies the diagnosis was confirmed. The cancer I had was not a lump, rather it was described as grains of sand. My cancer would never have been felt by me or a doctor. Self-exams are important but they shouldn’t be the only breast cancer screening you do. Mammograms save lives! It certainly saved mine!

What is a Sole Star?
The Sole Stars campaign engages leaders in our communities as representatives in the fight against breast cancer. During the month-long campaign, each Sole Star will raise or give a minimum of $1,000, which will be used to support the work of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF.) 100% of funds raised remain in Virginia to help Virginians and to fund our local breast cancer initiatives.
Sole (noun): the undersurface of a shoe; the sole is meant to provide footwear with the necessary support, giving traction and protection from the surfaces it will be in contact with.
Star (noun): a celebrated, prominent or distinguished person; synonym: VIP · (very) important person.
VBCF Sole Star (noun): a very important person providing support for our mission to eradicate breast cancer by raising awareness and funds in their community and providing traction for our mission; willing to have fun while wearing awesome pink shoes!
