Once again I will be breaking out the pink cape and will be rappelling 16 stories on Saturday, September 6, 2025 to raise funds and awareness for The Victory Center!
For those who know me, this is a big deal as I am terrified of heights. I figure if I can overcome cancer (twice) and still stay in the fight for a 3rd time, I can conquer my fear of heights.
After months of back pain in 2024 that everyone thought was just muscular, I was finally diagnosed in November with metastatic breast cancer in my bones and liver. The treatments have been challenging and at times the pain so great that the best I could do was sleep in a recliner. Fortunately, I am at a point where the side effects are improving and I am able to get back to many of the activities that I love. So to give back to this organization that has helped “heal my soul” while my wonderful doctors heal my body, I have decided to give it a go!
In addition to receiving services, I am a long-time volunteer at The Victory Center and help other cancer patients who are going through journeys similar to mine. The Victory Center is a privately-funded, non-profit organization dedicated to providing holistic services to cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers. These services are all provided free of charge and I personally benefit from the reflexology, massage, and healing touch therapies.
Please consider making a donation to help fund this program for services right here in our our community.
