Christina's 2021 Fundraising for Pledge the Pink

This journey began for me in 2004 when my aunt was first diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. She was given 6 months to live…but she said she still had two sons (of a total of 5) to finish raising. Through sheer will (and the grace of God), she lived two more years, until right after her youngest son graduated high school. I participated in my first walk (the big 60 mile walk) the next year (2007) as part of my grief therapy. I realized then that I would keep walking every year. Today, I walk because it’s one way I can honor her memory and do my part to eradicate cancer from our lives.
