In celebration of Mom's 40 years as a survivor which she officially celebrated on August 20th, 2024, and in the name of so many others I love, I will once again be walking as part of the Miles of Hope Community Walk on October 6th!
Mom and I have both been volunteers for Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation almost since its inception 20 years ago.  We love this grassroots organization and its mission to serve the people of the 9 counties of our home, The Hudson Valley of New York. It does so in a unique way in that the monies raised do not go to research but instead to 4 pillar programs:  Medical Gap Care Fund; Scholarships for young people whose lives have been touched by Breast Cancer, Complimentary Medicine and also Support Connections. 
For me, the opportunity to give back to the community where my mother was treated, where her life was saved and which has nourished and supported her throughout her survivorship means everything to me. 
If you are inclined and able, you can support Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will fund support services for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley!
More than that, if you know anyone in the HV who needs support through their breast cancer journey, let me know and I can help you get in touch with Miles of Hope. 
Additionally, you can ask me how you can get involved too if you are interested in volunteering...it will change your life. 
For now, allow me to do some walking! Let me know if you want to join me! It's the least we can do.  I love you, Mommy! Here's to Life XOXOX
