Since my treatment has been over, I've really been trying to get involved with breast cancer awareness and really trying to reach out to people in their time of need. In doing so, I reached out to the American Cancer Society. In just a few weeks, they had me do a photoshoot with realbeauty.com highlighting breast cancer survivors, an interview with ABC News (scheduled for October 1!) and just recently, to speak at the annual kickoff breakfast for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.
I can't even begin to explain how lucky I feel to be healthy, happy and to be able to share my experiences. There were women who came up to me after the breakfast just wanting to introduce themselves, wanting to kiss Nate the Great, give my mom a hug and kiss and thank me for telling my story. Having these women approach me and say the things they did just gives a little bit of reason behind going through such a terrible thing.
So I'm writing this entry to thank all of you out there for keeping me strong and keeping me positive and allowing me to share my story with you.
We are all making big strides, together!
