My Work with the American Cancer Society

As a breast cancer survivor, my connection to the American Cancer Society is deeply personal. Going through treatment showed me how overwhelming the journey can be for patients and caregivers. The ACS offers free programs that make a real difference — from rides to appointments, to trusted research, to support systems for families.

I’m passionate about advocating for survivors, standing with those in treatment, and raising awareness to push toward a cure. Cancer remains one of the most serious health challenges worldwide, and while I’m grateful to be a survivor, I know too many people still facing the fight. My goal is to support them and work toward the day when no one has to experience this disease.

If you’d like to help, visit the American Cancer Society to get involved through volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness.
