<div>In January 2025, at just 32 years old, I heard the words no one ever expects to hear: “It’s cancer.” What started as a lump turned into a diagnosis of Stage II invasive ductal breast cancer. Further testing revealed that I carry the BRCA2 gene mutation, significantly increasing my cancer risk and changing the course of my treatment. Since that day, life has been a whirlwind of surgeries, procedures, chemotherapy, radiation, medications, scans, and countless doctor appointments. I underwent a bilateral mastectomy, multiple additional surgeries, 16 rounds of chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation, fertility preservation treatments, and ongoing cancer-related therapies. While I am incredibly grateful to have reached the end of active treatment, the journey did not end when chemotherapy and radiation stopped.

<div> Cancer has affected every aspect of my life—physically, emotionally, and financially. Many people know me as the owner of Wofford Ranch, a barrel racer, coach, horse trainer, and someone who rarely slows down. Throughout treatment, I continued running my business, caring for horses, teaching students, and competing when I could because those things gave me purpose and hope. There were days I showed up exhausted, in pain, or uncertain of what the future held, but I kept going because I believed there would be brighter days ahead. The reality is that surviving cancer comes with a tremendous financial burden. Medical bills, surgeries, medications, travel expenses, lost work opportunities, ongoing monitoring, and continued treatment costs have created a significant strain. Even now, I continue to face expenses related to survivorship, follow-up testing, specialty care, and managing long-term side effects from treatment.

<div> Recently, I underwent additional bone and CT scans as part of my continued monitoring. Like many cancer survivors, every scan brings both hope and anxiety. The uncertainty can be overwhelming, but I continue to trust God and take each day one step at a time. If there is one thing this journey has taught me, it is that none of us are meant to walk through life's hardest battles alone. I have been blessed by an incredible community of family, friends, clients, students, rodeo families, and strangers who have prayed for me, encouraged me, and lifted me up when I needed it most. Today, I am humbly asking for help. Any donation, no matter the size, will help offset ongoing medical expenses and allow me to focus on healing, rebuilding my strength, and continuing the work I love with my horses and students. If you are unable to give financially, I would be deeply grateful if you would share this fundraiser and keep me in your prayers. Throughout this journey, I have witnessed God's faithfulness in ways I never imagined. There were moments when I felt broken, exhausted, and afraid, yet He continued to provide strength for the next step. My story is still being written, and I believe this chapter will become part of a greater testimony. Thank you for standing beside me, for your prayers, your support, and for helping carry me through this fight.
