Hi Friends and Family,

I am partnering with Triumph Cancer Foundation and raising money for Triumph through our Triumph to the Summit 2021 event.

 Triumph is a 12 week fitness program for cancer survivors to help them regain strength after enduring cancer treatments at no cost to survivors. 

Almost 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to my bones and liver.  After undergoing chemo treatments,  I was cancer-free and tried to return to my "normal" life.  I was struggling to do simple chores, work, walk the dog,  etc and it was overwhelming.  I found out about Triumph the following year and began the individualized program with a trained fitness instructor and 4 other survivors. Triumph encouraged and showed me what I was capable of doing instead of what I couldn't do.  Thanks to Triumph I am now rowing twice a week,  tutoring,  enjoying walks with my dog,  volunteering at SPCA many hours per week,  and now climbing mountains through Triumph to the Summit one step at a time.  I have tried for 3 years to participate,  but was unable to until this year.   I am so excited to be participating and trying to raise a minimum of $1500(the cost to put one survivor through Triumph's fitness program).  Because of previous graduates fundraising I was able to participate in this incredible program.  Now, I want to be able to help as many survivors as I can to benefit from this program - one dollar at a time!  

I sincerely appreciate your support for this fundraiser and my goal. You can donate now and by hitting “Give Now”  I appreciate it so very much.

Thank you for joining me!
