Courage brings us together. Nothing can tear us apart. 

On Saturday, October 24, I'm participating in the 15th annual Miles for Moffitt...and I need your help! Miles for Moffitt is a community-wide movement of inspiration, courage, and hope that allows our community to come together to raise critical funds for cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. 

I started my career at Moffitt in 2008 as a research coordinator.  I spent 4 years here before going to nursing school.  After graduating as an APRN 10 years later, I have spent the last year and a half working with Head and Neck cancer patients.  

There are no words to describe how incredibly special and amazing our patients are.  Their courage to undergo treatment (either surgically, with radiation, or with chemotherapy) is truly inspirational.  They choose to fight - sometimes we win, sometimes we do not.  But we are there for them every step of the way.  It is my privilege to work with them and to provide the best care and support possible for them.

Please join me in raising funds for Moffitt patients, families, survivors, and caregivers by joining my team or making a gift to my personal fundraising page. Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, every dollar is critical to supporting Moffitt's mission - to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer.

Thank you for your support and being an important part of the Miles for Moffitt community.  I am truly proud to work for this organization.
