On July 24, 2019 I was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer, stage 4. Only 9 months after a “clean” mammogram, I felt a lump that ended up being a large tumor that had already spread to my liver, bones and adrenal gland. Since then it has spread to my brain. I learned after my diagnosis that I have extremely dense breast tissue. I am an advocate for My Density Matters, an organization on a mission to empower women to learn their breast density and take control of their breast screening.
Come join us for a walk around the Main Quad on the University of Illinois campus. It is a short walk – just three laps. There will be speakers and information to learn more about breast health. There will also be educational resources, guest speakers, and raffle prizes. Registration is $5 and all proceeds benefit My Density Matters.
Mark your calendar and come join me for our first walk in Champaign!
