Thank you for taking the time to visit my page, I appreciate all contributions.

Why I am doing this?

My mom, she was the bravest woman I knew and I lost her to breast cancer in 2007, she was only 56. It was in spring, 1 month before my highschool graduation.

So I am raising money and awarness for breast cancer research hoping I can make a difference. Hoping I can contribute to saving someone else's loved one.

Please read her story below...

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in 2000, I was still a child, too young to understand how bad it really was, and she always put on a smile for me... after months of laser and chemo treatments she got better.

In early winter 2007. my final year of highschool, she had been well and "free of the cancer" for 5 years and was to be declared "cancer free". But she had told her doctor at every check up for months that something was not right, though her doctor at our local hospital refused to examine her.

Her doctor made her feel bad, telling her it was all in her head and that she needed to relax, get used to being healthy and that she ought to get back to work.So the day her doctor signed her papers declaring her cancer free, a nurse took my mom to the side telling her she would take some tests just so my mom could relax.

2 weeks later, my mom was told she had cancer stage 4 that had spread troughout her body, and that she was lucky to have 3 months. They told her they cold put her on chemo to give her a couple more weeks possibly, but that there was not much they could do.

This time I was old enough to see and remember what she had to go through, what this disease did to her, how hard she fought and how it ate her up from the inside. I spent most of my final year sneaking away from school to sit with her at the hospital.

I remember how sad she was when her hair started falling off, so I brought her nice scarfs...How shaky her hands got so I had to learn how to giver her the medcine injections....how tired she got, how her apetite faded and I saw in her eyes how sad she was when she knew she couldn't beat it! 

But she fought til the end, and her goals was to make it to my highschool graduation, but when they let her come home in early March I knew she was so sick, and in so much pain and I couldn't do anything. She passed away in the Spring, 2007, just a few weeks before my graduation, in our home. 

She always told me everything was possible and I am now about to graduate from lawschool, so as a new chapter of my life is soon about to start, I want to honor the memory of my mom who made me who I am and who opened all these doors for me in life. 
Therefore I will climb Kilimanjaro 2 weeks before both our birthdays, to raise a flag in her memory and for all those brave souls out there.

I couldnt help my mom then, but hopefully this charity contribute to helping others. Thank you for reading hear story and please donate, small, large, all contributions count...
