My Story - How Breast Cancer Has Affected Me

Janalyn Freeman
2008 Race for the Cure Chair
Survivor Since 2006

"It's easy to lose sight of who you are and where you have been in the daily grind of life, but I don't want to forget the experience. I want to live each day and remember how blessed and lucky I am. I'm proud of me, of where I have been, of who I have become, of the people who have helped me through the darkest hour of my life, but more importantly, i'm proud to say I'M A SURVIVOR!"
