My Story
Hello!! My family recently received a cancer diagnosis that has changed our lives in ways we never expected. Like so many others facing this disease, we’ve experienced the fear, uncertainty, and emotional weight that comes with hearing the words no family ever wants to hear. In the middle of appointments, and difficult conversations, we’ve also seen incredible strength, love, and support from those loved ones around us. To honor that strength and help create hope for others facing similar battles, I’m raising funds for cancer research by walking 60 miles in June. Every donation will support efforts to improve treatments, advance early detection, and bring us closer to a future where more families can hear the words “cancer-free.” This fundraiser is deeply personal to me. It’s not only about fighting one diagnosis — it’s about standing with every patient, survivor, caregiver, and family affected by cancer. Whether you donate, share this page, or simply keep our loved one in your thoughts, your support means more than words can express. Thank you for helping me turn a difficult chapter into something meaningful and hopeful. Together, we can make a difference. Soph x
