In August, my sister Olivia and I are swapping beanies for bikinis and taking an icy plunge all in the name of cancer research.
Cancer has shaped our lives in more ways than one, and we know we’re not alone in that. It’s a condition that doesn’t play fair, doesn’t look the same in any two people, and keeps even the smartest scientists on their toes.
After growing up understanding what cancer does to people and how it affects families, raising money and awareness for this awful disease has been something that I hold deep in my heart.
That’s why Olivia and I are pushing the boundaries of comfort to raise funds for scientists to push the boundaries of their understanding of cancer. Funding research means giving brilliant people the chance to keep asking the hard questions and maybe, eventually, changing the answers.
If you’re able to support us with a donation, we’d be so grateful. And if not, feel free to just to cheer us on and pray for our toes. Either way, you’re part of the story and we appreciate your support!
