Hey friends and family!!
I'm launching a fundraiser in support of Send It Foundation and would love your support. Send It is special to me for so many reasons (which you can read about below) and, just like a Send It trip, this fundraiser will be just as challenging as it is celebratory! Your support through donations means the world to me and will also help provide Send It adventures to other young adults affected by cancer!

My SENDtember Goal
SENDtember is a full month of sending it in celebration and support of young adults impacted by cancer. I'm challenging myself to walk 3 miles every day of September, with a goal of raising $3,000, to celebrate being cancer free for 3 years!!! I'll keep track of my steps every day by wearing my Garmin watch and I'll post my progress here!
My Send It Story
Since being diagnosed with breast cancer at 28, I've been on a very challenging road of figuring out how to answer new, unimaginable questions. How will my diagnosis will affect my life? How do I talk about my experience with cancer? How can I continue living the kind of life I want to live? Send It Foundation has been central to my process of discovery and answering these questions.
Send It Foundation provides free outdoor adventures for young adult cancer survivors. Send It is an expression that inspires positivity, enthusiasm, pushing boundaries and living life to the fullest. Born from the adventure sports community, Send It is what we say to encourage each other to go big and give it your all. Whether it’s dropping into a couloir on skis, paddling out to the lineup, or reaching for the next hold on the rock wall — go for it.
My first Send It trip was about 6 months after my diagnosis. I was a cancer noobie and I spent a lot of time listening to the other participants. I also had three kick ass days skiing - feeling confident in my body and feeling stronger than I'd felt since before diagnosis. My second Send It Trip was 3 years after diagnosis and helped me reflect on how far I've come in that time. Our group was especially close, and after backpacking 30 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail we felt like we'd known each other for much longer than just a few days.
Both of these life changing trips were paid for by the generous donations of Send It Foundation's supporters.
Send It has helped shape my post-cancer experience into something positive, something that has no limits, and something that I will never have to do alone.
My Ask
I'd like to invite you to help support this incredible foundation and the amazing work they do. Your donations will help provide Send It adventures to other young adults affected by cancer.
