Hi, I’m Heather.

I’m living with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer — and my life is not over.

Recently, my oncologist shared news no one wants to hear:

my time is likely shorter than we hoped.

I can’t control that.

But I can choose how I live the days I have left.

I want to fill them with joy, wonder, travel, love, magic, and memories that will comfort the hearts of the people who love me when I can no longer be here in person. ✨

This fundraiser isn’t about giving up.

It’s about living while I’m alive. ❤️
