When the opportunity was presented to be a Pink
Together Survivor Ambassador I did not hesitate to get involved. What a great honor!!! To be in a position to inspire another person
through my journey means the world to me.
It’s my turn to help others. I
know my experiences offer insight to someone newly diagnosed.
I
have been serving and promoting breast cancer awareness for numerous
years. We have a community of survivors that reach out to newly diagnosed women
in the Houston area to help as they go through the process of surgery and treatment
decisions. It is helpful to have someone
to talk with especially regarding the various reconstruction options. I am also a supporter of Susan G. Komen and
have been raising funds for the Houston Chapter through my team Molly’s Posse
for numerous years. I remain committed
until we find a cure.
People often say you enter a sorority when you are
diagnosed with breast cancer. I can say
this is true for me. When I hear of
others getting this news, I feel it in my heart because I know what’s
ahead. Your heart goes out to
them…. I want to share the knowledge
from my two breast cancer experiences with others. I know the desperate feeling of needing to
meet other survivors. It is a powerful
feeling to know your life will go on.
My experience as a Pink Together Survivor Ambassador
has been wonderful! I encourage anyone
who is considering getting involved to go for it! From the day we arrived in Minneapolis for a
wonderful dinner to meet the entire Pink Together Team it was a great
experience. I will share a funny…… We’d been told to be prepared for very cold
temperatures - so being from Houston I prepared for COLD temperatures. Apparently I brought the Texas heat with
me! It was unseasonably warm! Seriously, we had such a wonderful time and I
will treasure the memories forever!
In closing, I believe in the Pink Together community
will continue to grow and pass any expectations!!
