Help Kristin raise money

For participating in #LightUpMBC Color Fun Run

My Story…

I was first diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in 2011 after finding a lump in my breast when my only child was just a year old. My treatment included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The medication I took to prevent recurrence did not allow for an opportunity to extend my family biologically. Once I recovered from treatment, I excitedly went full force into life: time with my family, back to work, trips, exercising, and teaching my daughter new things. 

Six years later, I started having neck pain. After months of working with a chiropractor, the pain got worse. An MRI showed my cancer had metastasized to my spine. I was mentally getting ready for another round of chemo and radiation when my oncologist advised me that with Stage 4, less aggressive treatments are used first to offer the best quality of life. 

That is when the devastation hit home for me, that there is no cure for MBC and this disease will be part of the rest of my life. I volunteer for METAvivor to increase research and have more treatments available when my cancer outsmarts the current regimen. I want my daughter to have her mother with her as many years as possible.

Donate to help Kristin raise money for #LightUpMBC Color Fun Run’s fundraising campaign.
