This is not MY story, it is the story of my breast cancer. My breast cancer is but a part of my wonderful and exciting life. I was a survivor even before I was diagnosed. I won't EVEN consider the alternative.... :) Now I realize I am also a Warrior.

Thank's for Supporting Tammy's Ta-Ta's in the Avon Walk


A great big "thank you!" to all those who supported "Tammy's Ta-Ta's" in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer which was held in Washington D.C. on May 3rd & 4th. There were a total of 3,500 registered walkers participants who raised over $8.1 million for local, regional and national breast cancer organizations. Team Tammy's Ta-Ta's did an amazing job of raising a combined total of $8,060!!! Will proved to be the biggest supporter of Tammy's Ta-Ta;s raising $3,750 ;0), I raised $2,455 and Kelly raised $1,855. We never could have done this without the gracious contributions from so many people.

I've had a quote on my blog site since it's inception, "If you think research is expensive, you should try disease. Funds are needed to raise awareness and find a cure." It's through people who contribute, who walk, & who volunteer/participate in so many ways that each day we do come closer to a cure. Will & Kelly, thanks for "walking in my shoes"! Again, from the bottom of the heart within my ta-ta's, thank you so very much! :0)

Make a Difference

If you think research is expensive you should try disease.  Funds are needed to raise awareness and find a cure.  Find a cause that you are passionate about and share that passion.  Donate, volunteer, do something.
Be a part of a cause & solution.  Help find a cure.
