Welcome to my fundraising page!
This September, I’m walking the Badger Challenge as a SURVIVOR! Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with stage 3 choriocarcinoma. I’m currently in remission and if all of my checks are negative for the next 3 months, then I’ll be considered cured! I’m still here today thanks to my oncology team at the UW Health Carbone Cancer Center. I was fortunate enough to get prompt treatment, and when there was a national shortage of one of my chemotherapy drugs, my oncology team advocated for me and secured enough of the drug to set aside for the remainder of my treatments. I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to call myself a survivor, something that not all cancer patients are able to say. My goal is to raise $1,000. All of the donations received go directly toward cancer research at UW and hopefully some day every cancer patient can call themselves a survivor. Click my link to donate if you’re interested! Or participate in the Badger Challenge with me on September 22nd! Share to spread the word!

I am proudly helping accelerate cancer research and patient treatment initiatives forward at the University of Wisconsin through my involvement in Badger Challenge - an annual walking, running, and biking event which powers the brightest cancer minds, ideas and technologies at UW. We all have been affected by cancer in some way and more needs to be done to combat this terrible disease.
The Badger Challenge's mission is to give 100% of all participant-raised dollars (yes, every penny!) to the most promising UW cancer initiatives both in the laboratory and clinic setting. Since 2016, Badger Challenge has raised over $3.6 million and what’s best of all is our ability to see where the money goes as Badger Challenge presents their Scholars each year!
Badger Challenge takes place in September and 100% of all dollars-raised are presented to the newly announced Scholar Class by January of the next year. This is done quickly so the funds can make an impact in the labs and hospital helping patients and families immediately.
Help me support Badger Challenge and its UW cancer mission. All contributions are appreciated - whether it is $5 or $500, every dollar counts and you can be assured that every dollar you give goes back to the cause and helping those affected by cancer.
If you are unable to make a monetary donation at this point, please help us reach our goal by sharing this page with others on social media! Even better, send an email to friends you think might be interested in contributing or joining Badger Challenge and include a link to our page.

Thank you so much for your generosity! Together we can help write the story that ends cancer!
