I'm joining forces with other Track Shack ladies to raise funds for the AdventHealth Breast Cancer Care Fund, which provides free breast imaging diagnostic exams and cancer treatment to women in need. Every $135 raised provides a mammogram for an uninsured or underserved woman in Central Florida.

Early detection is key. In my family of origin, three of us – myself included – discovered something early, each because of a mammogram. Something that could have otherwise threatened our existence, or at the very least, made it much more difficult. We all needed surgery; we all needed five years of meds. Two needed radiation treatment. I was the lucky one in this regard, because mine was early enough to be classified a pre-cancer. It’s now been 11 cancer-free years since my diagnosis.

Mammograms save lives. No woman should be denied access because of money. Please help us save a life!
