Barbells for Boobs - Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey everyone, my name is James and I am looking to raise money for Barbells for Boobs. Barbells for Boobs provides support and education to incorporate physical activity as the foundation for breast cancer risk reduction, treatment, and survivorship. They are improving the quality of life and outcomes in individuals impacted by breast cancer. Our gym, ACR Athletics is hosting a members workout this Saturday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

 

My mother, Joan McGinley was diagnosed with a rare variant of stage 1 Breast Cancer. On October 15, 2015 she went in for her final radiation treatment and walked out a CHAMPION and beat the cancer. On September 15, 2021, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer and has gone through a double mastectomy to hopefully end the spread of this cancer. As my mom begins her chemotherapy for a second time next week, I unfortunately cannot be there for her due to living 1200 miles away.

 

Joan is a brave, caring, loving, passionate, supportive, and most of all quite, mother and role model. Donating will help support Barbells for Boobs by providing funding to support those with breast cancer throughout the treatment process, but also increase awareness and educate risk prevention through exercise.

 

For every $10 dollars raised, I will perform 1 burpee after completing the Barbell for Boobs special workout. Although I cannot experience what my mother has gone through, hopefully I can push myself to be as strong as her.
