Look at what we've done together!
What will today bring?
Today is the day: the inaugural Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Day! I feel good about taking this day and doing something with it - thank you for helping make that possible! It feels so good to support the TNBC Foundation.

This foundation is dedicated to finding a successful treatment and cure for TNBC as well as providing information and support to the TNBC community.

Mission:
To raise awareness of TNBC and to support scientists and researchers in their effort to determine the definitive causes of triple negative breast cancer, so that effective detection, diagnosis, prevention and treatment can be pursued and achieved.

Company Overview:
The TNBC Foundation was founded in 2006 in honor of Nancy Block-Zenna, a young woman who was diagnosed at age 35 with TNBC and died 2-1/2 years later in 2007.

In response to Nancy's diagnosis, her close friends launched the TNBC Foundation to raise awareness and support research in the area of TNBC.

Felt good to get a nod from the TNBC Foundation
in support of my fundraising efforts.

As an individual with TNBC, I am touched by your generosity - every one of you. When my request was approved to participate in this fundraiser, there were just 16 days left. -- Just LOOK at what can happen in a couple of weeks! Thank you for your support of this foundation, my fundraising efforts, my spouse, me and my journey, and my family.

There is no "good" cancer to have. It's all bad - the level depending on each person's diagnosis and journey. We are like snowflakes; nobody is exactly alike. Nor may be our treatments in the future. Thank you for supporting a foundation that is trying to unravel the unknowns behind my particular diagnosis.

I plan on meditating about this day and what it means to me at a gong bath tonight. What a great way to process this overwhelming occasion.

a reminder: This fundraising event ends today!
