Rev Your Engines for Breast Cancer Research

Most who know me know that my mother passed away from inflammatory breast cancer at a young age, she was only 32 - my sister and I, were 10 and 8. Numerous friends and family members have been impacted by this and their fought their own battles, with wins and with losses. I personally chose to undergo a prophylactic mastectomy in December of 2023 at the age of 32, after MUCH consideration upon learning at 21 that I carry a genetic mutation know as BRCA-2 that carries with is a higher lifetime risk of cancer. My risk was 87%. That choice, that surgery took my risk to 2% and was 100% worth it. All of this has given us a passion to help, to contribute, to encourage in anyway we can, wherever we can. Justin and I decided to go on this charity ride last year in 2024, to celebrate his birthday and to also remember my momma. We enjoyed it so much, we decided to make it an annual thing for us. This year we would love to help have a bigger impact on Breast Cancer Research. Please donate if you feel led, join the ride if you can, and love each other most of all

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 $16 million in life-saving breast cancer research and treatments across Alabama since its founding in 1996. Most recently, in December 2024, we announced an annual investment of $1.125 million to our grantee partners, including the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Alabama State University, Auburn University, 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.
