Hello and Welcome to Compassionate
Hands and Hearts Breast Cancer Outreach!
We are here for you.
When
I was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer in 2004, I knew
God had a purpose in allowing this journey into my life. I
knew that part of that purpose would be education. So I
shared my story with viewers in Central Florida who've
watched me over the years at
WFTV Channel 9, where I anchor the morning and noon
newscasts. From that came some awesome opportunities to
speak at community events and get involved with local
efforts to fight cancer.
But I always felt as if I should be doing more.
Compassionate Hands and Hearts is that "more". Some
wonderful friends who are also breast cancer survivors and
others who have a heart for the cause are working with me in
an effort to truly have an impact on the lives of breast
cancer patients and their families here in Central Florida.
Those of us who've experienced this journey know that even
with our amazing family and friends supporting us, there
were times when we could have used an extra pair of hands to
run an errand, accompany us to a doctor's visit or just
listen while we vent. We want Compassionate Hands and Hearts
Breast Cancer Outreach to be that for you.
Again, welcome to our website and welcome to our family of
survivors and supporters.
