I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April. I went for my annual mammogram leading to another mammogram which led to a biopsy. I was told I had Stage 1 breast cancer. Before I knew it, I was sitting in a surgeon's office and was being told the plan for my future. Everything was happening very fast, I was scared and not knowing what to expect. For me, this has been a summer of surgery and radiation. I am happy to write, I finally rang the bell in September marking the end of my treatment and the beginning of my cancer-free journey.

Please do not put off getting your mammogram. I am very grateful for my family, friends, and the amazing medical team who cared for me, encouraged and cheered me along this voyage. Savor every sunrise.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my fundraising goal for the Breast Cancer

About the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama

Founded in 1996, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama (BCRFA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help find a cure for breast cancer by funding promising breast cancer research in Alabama and raising community awareness and funding for that research. BCRFA funds promote a comprehensive approach to battling breast cancer by promoting collaborative and innovative research to help diagnose, treat, prevent, and eradicate the disease.

With community support, BCRFA has invested over $15 million in life-saving breast cancer research and treatments across Alabama since its founding in 1996. Most recently, in December 2023, we announced an annual investment of $1.25 million to our grantee partners, including the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Auburn University, CerFlux, the Mitchell Cancer Institute at the University of South Alabama, the University of Alabama, Tuskegee University, and HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. All funding stays in Alabama, but the impact is worldwide.
