Michelle's Story:
Michelle’s journey with breast cancer began in March 2021—just days before welcoming her daughter into the world. Despite aggressive treatments and a short-lived remission, she faced another battle soon after. In December 2023, Michelle was declared cancer-free again, but just over a year later, on January 20, 2025, she was diagnosed with metastases to the brain.
Michelle has already undergone gamma knife radiation and is back on chemotherapy, which will likely continue indefinitely. Despite the hardships, Michelle remains determined to turn her experience into something positive. Her hope is to raise awareness about breast cancer—especially for young women like herself—and to encourage others to be proactive about their health.
Every ticket purchased, every bid placed, and every dollar donated supports the fight against breast cancer and helps Michelle and others like her receive the support they need.
Join us in making a difference!
