My Story…

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at the age of 27. I had been married for a year and had just graduated from law school. I didn't know anyone diagnosed with cancer, especially no one close to my age. Being diagnosed young with cancer is very hard because we have unique struggles. Rethink Breast Cancer understands these struggles and they help put the pieces back together after a breast cancer diagnosis. Being a member of Rethink's community has changed my life in so many amazing ways. Please donate to my run so that Rethink can continue helping other young women who have just been blindsided by their diagnosis.

Description

We take a breakthrough approach to all aspects of breast cancer – education, resources, advocacy, community engagement, and fundraising – Rethink is thinking differently about breast cancer.

Money raised funds our programs like Stretch Heal Grow, a yoga and wellness retreat for young women living with breast cancer, helps us advocate for more research and clinical trials, and create educational resources for newly diagnosed young women and their families.
