I am excited to share that I have been selected as a representative for the 2026 Women in Blue campaign! This initiative, supporting the Cancer Wellness Foundation of Central Alabama, brings together women leaders to shine a light on colorectal cancer awareness and the importance of early detection.
While I haven’t personally lost a family member to colon cancer, my family is no stranger to the physical and emotional toll cancer takes. I still carry the memory of losing my beloved grandmother to lung cancer, and I’ve watched with pride as my father-in-law and one of my closest friends fought their own battles with incredible courage and resilience. Having seen the fear and exhaustion firsthand, I am more committed than ever to advocacy. These experiences have shaped my heart and strengthened my resolve to fight back.
Why your support matters:
The funds we raise provide critical services for patients across 32 counties in Central Alabama, including:
- Transportation to life-saving treatments
- “The Wig Gig,” offers free wigs to any cancer patient experiencing hair loss due to treatment.
- Advocacy for essential medications (helping patients access millions in assistance).
- Nutritional counseling and supplements to help patients keep up their strength.
Thank you for standing with me and the Cancer Wellness Foundation of Central Alabama team to empower lives through prevention and care.
