Almost five years ago, the life that Marjorie and I had been living was changed in an instant. Who would have thought that a simple phone call would have a tremendous impact in the way it did. Thoughts of wedding planning and dresses were all of a sudden replaced with questions about life and death.
At the time, we thought Marjie was alone, since she was only 26 when diagnosed with breast cancer; the truth is she was not. There is a whole community of young women and their significant others who have had the same questions, concerns and nightmares that Marjorie and I had. We now know we are not alone and that is because of the Young Survival Coalition.
The Young Survival Coalition (YSC) is the premier organization dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. YSC offers resources, connections and outreach so women and their co-survivors feel supported, empowered and hopeful.
Marjie and I knew we never wanted any women to feel alone during this time. So we made a commitment to support YSC. This is why I am once again riding in YSC’s Tour de Pink (TdP). TdP is a three-day bicycle ride of over 200 miles to raise money for young women diagnosed with and battling breast cancer. The funds are crucial because they support outreach efforts and research specific to young women and breast cancer.
I need your help. Please support me in my efforts to honor Marjie and all young women with a gift today. Please visit https://east.ysctourdepink.
I thank you in advance for your support and truly appreciate your generosity!
