Young athletes feel indestructible. It’s an attitude that lets them challenge all limits. Young women are the same when it comes to health. Even the idea of breast cancer seems distant, an unlikely detour far down the road and decades from possibility. The reality is closer than most realize. In the United States alone, more than 250,000 women under age 40 are living with breast cancer, and it’s the leading cause of cancer deaths in women 15 to 54. Cancers in young women are generally more aggressive. The disease is usually diagnosed at later stages than with older women, and the survival rate is lower.

You are such a strong, young woman. I’m blessed that I was able to be with you through that time and I’ll continually support you throughout this process. Your positive attitude and courage is so inspiring. Breast cancer didn’t know who it was messing with!!!
