Sixteen years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Every day, I am grateful for the care I received and the enduring support from my family and friends during that challenging period. I know many others who have faced their own battles with cancer, and I hope that one day we can prevent this disease from affecting anyone else.

VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center is working to save lives and find cures for cancer right here in Virginia and promote an active, healthy lifestyle for our community. To support the cause, I am participating in the Play it Forward Tennis Tournament on October 5-6  to raise funds and awareness for women's cancer research at Massey. My participation will have special meaning as a way to honor those I love who are battling – or have battled cancer. When you make a donation towards my fundraising goal, you join our team effort to support women's cancer research, honor those who have battled cancer and unite our community towards a cure.

Best,
Cristin
