On behalf of HERS Breast Cancer Foundation’s Board and Team, welcome and thank you for visiting our 2022 Walk/Run/Yoga Fundraising page!

With 1 in 8 women impacted by breast cancer, you are likely here because you have been impacted by this devastating disease whether through your own diagnosis or that of a loved one, a friend, a co-worker, or an acquaintance.

My breast cancer journey has been life-altering. I briefly mourned and then chose to act so that I can make the greatest and most direct patient impact: by supporting HERS Breast Cancer Foundation.

I have personally donated my own money, taken advantage of employer matching and my employer’s “Dollars For Doers” give back initiative in support of this year’s Walk/Run/Yoga event. In addition, I have contributed countless hours of volunteer time. I do this so breast cancer survivors like me may access products and services that restore what “HERS” stands for:  Hope, Empowerment, Renewal, and Support.

Please join me. Donations in all amounts are welcome. To help put your giving in perspective:

$50 provides a survivor with a specialty pocketed bra
$85 alleviates lymphedema (swelling) with a compression sleeve
$150 gives a patient experiencing hair loss a wig
$250 supports a lymphedema sufferer with a compression sleeve and glove
$500 allows a patient to look and feel their best with two breast forms (prostheses)

With gratitude,

Kirstin Litz
