Chasing Light with Courtney: Support Her Fight

Courtney Grumney is many things - a daughter, big sister, loyal friend, dancer, dog mom, Boston sports fan, ocean lover, and adventurer. If you know Courtney, you know she’s fierce, vibrant, and unapologetically herself. Whether she’s cheering for the Red Sox, dancing her heart out, or finding calm at the beach, Courtney shows up with grit, loyalty, and joy. She’s the kind of person who never backs down from a challenge, and now she’s facing one of her biggest yet.

On May 22, 2025, Courtney received a life-altering diagnosis: Stage 2, Grade 3 Triple Positive Invasive Ductal Carcinoma—an aggressive form of breast cancer. Her treatment plan is equally intense: six chemotherapy infusions over 18 weeks, followed by surgery, radiation, and recovery beyond that.

Courtney began chemotherapy on July 17, and she is facing this frightening journey with courage, humor, and the same fierce spirit she applies to every part of her life.
