Cancer has touched nearly every family I know. It is voracious and indiscriminate, and it continues to impact people I love and communities I care about.
For more than two decades I have tried to stay actively involved in the fight through advocacy, research participation, and direct support of organizations working to prevent and treat this disease. Research advances, earlier detection, and better treatments have saved lives. There is still much more work to do.
This February 2026 I joined the American Cancer Society’s 10 Days of 5Ks Challenge. The goal is to raise awareness and resources for people facing cancer while completing ten 5K walks or runs during the month. I believe in being part of the change we seek, and this challenge is one way I am putting action alongside that belief.
If you are willing and able to support this effort, you can donate through my fundraising page.
Every gift supports the American Cancer Society’s work in cancer research, prevention, detection, advocacy, and patient support.
Please keep those impacted by cancer in your prayers and please, please stay current with your recommended screenings.
Take care, God bless and stay well,
Nettye
