Ally’s story & why we love this cause!
I left my four year old with a babysitter on a sunny August afternoon in 2016 to head to a routine yearly mammogram. It was anything but routine. I remember getting dressed and waiting for the all clear to head home, but being pulled into a back office by the on-call radiologist. I was told I needed to get an oncology team together as soon as possible. I was convinced they had the wrong person--and I remember telling them so! I had no lumps, felt no masses, had no family history of breast cancer. But there was no mistake. Scans, biopsies, and tests were only the beginning. Weeks, months, and even years of surgeries, treatments, and appointments followed. But because of a strong support network in a caring community, I was never alone. I was lucky. In September of 2021, I celebrated five years cancer-free. I plan to dedicate this month to helping to increase awareness and to promote regular screenings and early detection of breast cancer. Nearly 1 in 8 women in America will receive a diagnosis during one's lifetime. Together, we can make a difference.
