Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime? I am the 1 in 8. 

March is Triple Negative Breast Cancer month! To celebrate, I am raising money for the TNBC Foundation, where 100% of the proceeds raised goes DIRECTLY to fund research for this deadly disease. How incredible is that?! The amount of support that I received at the time of my diagnosis, during my treatments, and even receive today as I am still navigating 'survivorship' life absolutely blows me away. I feel like the least I can do is try my best to help others who are going through what I did. 

Triple Negative is one of the many forms of breast cancer. Approximately every HALF HOUR, a woman in the United States is diagnosed with TNBC. I remember the day I was diagnosed like it was yesterday. It was a day that I wish I never experienced. My hope is that by spreading awareness and fundraising to help research this deadly disease, less women will have to hear those horrible words. 

TNBC tends to be more aggressive, more likely to recur, and more difficult to treat than other types of breast cancer. THIS is why we need more research to help TNBC fighters. Triple Negative disproportionately strikes younger women, women of African, Latinx or Caribbean descent, and those with BRCA1 mutations. 

Why support TNBC Foundation? Only a small portion of donations to other breast cancer charities are used to fund research for triple negative breast cancer. Treatment of this form of breast cancer has therefore not progressed far enough and funds are desperately needed to bring us closer to finding a cure. Together we can truly make a difference!
