Cancer has touched too many people I know and love, which is why I've once again joined the American Cancer Society to make a difference. By supporting this important work, I'm celebrating cancer survivors, honoring those we've lost, and raising critical funds to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

I first joined ACS Team Determination in 2022 to honor the memory of my Uncle Johnny who had recently passed from colon cancer. He passed a matter of weeks after his diagnosis and it was a shock to our family. My goal with joining the ACS is to not only raise funds, but to also raise awareness about the importance of early detection and screening.

The money I raise helps fund groundbreaking research, provides vital information for those facing cancer, and supports free rides to treatment and free lodging when care is far from home. Most of all, I know the funds raised brings hope to the people who need it most.

By standing with the American Cancer Society, I stand with the more than 18 million cancer survivors in the U.S. today?and with those who may one day hear the words, ?You have cancer.? That's why I'd be so grateful for your support. Please donate to my efforts, and together, we can help end cancer as we know it?for everyone.
