It’s officially October—National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. This fight is deeply personal to me—my mom was diagnosed in 2023.

Throughout the month of October, I’m raising funds to support The BRA Program, which provides emotional wellness, nutritional health, physical strength programs, and mindful counseling for patients in treatment, survivors, and those living long-term with breast cancer.

The BRA Program has been a lifeline for my mom. When she was first diagnosed, everything felt overwhelming and isolating. Through this program, she found more than just guidance—she found a community of women who truly understood, offered encouragement, and became like family. Their support has given her strength during her hardest days and hope for the future.

I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference this program makes, and I want more people to know it exists—because no one should face breast cancer alone.
