Fighting Pretty

Trying to start a new group for young women faced with breast cancer.
Just started a new blog and facebook page and really hope someday it will get big enough to help people all over the world to share their stories and teach young women that this is real and should not be ignored.

But all the while, knowing you can still be young, beautiful and sexy - and go through breast cancer! The most important thing throughout your breast cancer journey is to stay strong, stay smart and remember you are still you!

Hair, no hair, eyelashes, no eyelashes, you are still beautiful inside & out!

Fighting Pretty - feeling beautiful every day!

Testing Testing

Guess what?

Last week, I was asked by the American Cancer Society to join Desiree Carton and speak - on the radio - about my journey through breast cancer and my experience at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk that takes place every October. It was truly amazing!



We recorded at KTU first with morning show host, Cindy Vero. She was a ball of laughs! Plus, we were even wearing similar fabulous shoes!


The ACS ladies, me, and Cindy!

Next we headed over to Z100 to record with Loren Raye. It was a crazy experience for me, because I used to listen to Z100 when I commuted to my first job in New Jersey. She was great. She even talked about her cousin, who is about 42 years old who had just finished treatment. We were all crying like babies! But it was such a personal experience on such a public level. I feel so lucky to have been given this opportunity.

Plus, I got to meet Greg T!

Sitting and talking about all of my knowledge on these two radio shows with the funny and outspoken hosts, plus Desiree from the American Cancer Society was beyond amazing. I truly felt like I was having a conversation over coffee and was reaching women all across the country to tell them my story, and teach them to do self-breast exams and just become more aware that this unfortunate disease can actually happen to young women.



Thank you to Clear Channel and the ACS for supporting me, my experience and really trying to make a difference!

So tune in on Sunday mornings between 6-8am on KTU and Z100!
And signup for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in October! I'll be out there walking, you should too!
