Since the birth of Bubucheek, we have wanted to attach ourselves to a good cause and raise awareness. There's no better foundation to be associated with than the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, especially when it's one that touches close to home as many women in our own families have been diagnosed. We encourage you to click the link above because knowledge is power and with it being so commonly found in women, the sooner it is found the better the chances are of beating it.
I want to personally thank Eva Warden (mother of a teammate of mine) for sharing her story and allowing us @bubucheek to present it to all our followers/fans. It's so encouraging to hear stories of how people deal with their battle and how mentally strong they've become in light of their fight.
" In February 2000, I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. I was facing nine months of treatment--chemo and radiation. Sometime after the diagnosis, I vowed this would only be an interruption. I was 51, looking forward to being a grandmother, and still had things to do. The treatments were harsh, the wig was hot, but with the support of my husband, children, sisters, friends and the best oncologist around, I spent those months "living" with cancer. I have no doubt that their prayers and those of many others made the difference. I am thankful chemo and radiation were effective, but am eternally grateful for the power of prayer. I am here and healthy through the grace of God. Evidently He still has plans for me. Eleven years later, I am still standing and still have things to do."
