12 years

It was on this exact day 12 years ago that I heard those three words “You Have Cancer” and my life has forever been changed! I celebrated my special day today by hiking to the summit of cold and wet Quartz Mountain to prove that I am stronger than cancer and that cancer picked the wrong woman to mess with!!! #12yearscancerfree #GoPinkInOctober #cancerovercomer #blessedandgrateful #strongerthancancer #WarriorStrong #SurvivorStrong

My Hero

As I celebrate my 12th year as a cancer survivor this month I am forever grateful to my amazing surgical oncologist Dr Stephanie Moline from Cancer Care Northwest that I had the pleasure of seeing last week! It is a very powerful and emotional feeling to stand next to the person who saved my life! #12yearscancerfree #CancerCareNW #myhero #GoPinkInOctober #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #getyourmammogram

Anchorage Police Department

I have experienced some amazing opportunities the last 12 years as a breast cancer survivor, and traveling to Anchorage, Alaska a few months ago to do a ride along in this Awesome Pink unit with the Anchorage Police Department was pretty Epic!!! It is something that I will remember for a very long time! Thin Blue Line Against Breast Cancer! #thinblueline #epicopportunity #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #pinkcopsrock #anchoragepolicedepartment

Essential Womans Boutique

What a  special day to stop in to see these ladies to help me celebrate 12 years cancer free!

Great Day!!

Beautiful day in the mountains today! I am much stronger both mentally and physically than I was 12 years ago before my cancer diagnosis. As the distance between myself and cancer gets further away, I no longer live in fear and I have so much more to live!! #SurvivorStrong #12yearscancerfree #challengeyourself #livelifewell #strongerthanyesterday

Tackle Breast Cancer

I not only Tackled Breast Cancer…I gave it a 15 yard penalty for roughing the kicker, a 10 yard penalty for offsides, and a 5 yard penalty for illegal motion…AND Sacked it for a substantial loss!!! I would say I won the game by a score of 12 years-0!!!!!! #tacklebreastcancer #12yearsurvivor #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #beatingcancer #pinkfootballgames

Cancer Care NW

A special moment early this morning to present a check for $1,000 to Dr Stephanie Moline and the Cancer Care Northwest Foundation for the money I raised from my breast cancer awareness fundraiser last week! Words can not describe what it feels like to stand beside the surgical oncologist who saved my life 12 years ago! I am forever grateful to Cancer Care Northwest and this amazing woman! #cancernw #grateful #survivor #breastcancerawarenessmonth #foundationfundraiser

I Wear Pink

Pink is more than just a color to me….it represents Hope for all those challenged by breast cancer. As a Survivor I proudly wear the color pink everyday for the month of October to remind myself what I have overcome!!! 🎀🎀 #wearpink #represent #survivor #iwearpink #inoctoberwewearpink #gopink #hope #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Pink Ribbon Run

Today would have been the 5th annual Pink Ribbon Run here in Spokane and for the 2nd year in a row it was held virtually! I completed the 5k today on my own and was so honored that the Every Woman Can organization hand delivered this awesome sign to honor us Survivors! Being recognized as a breast cancer survivor is so special as I celebrate my 12th year cancer free! Thanks to Deb Barnes and the entire EWC organization for making this day of celebration so special!!!!  #PinkRibbonRun #breastcancersurvivor #SurvivorStrong #GoPink #12yearsurvivor
