In 2007, Alison was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Hearing the words you have cancer is super scary. Your life changes in an instant. With the huge support from my family, friends, colleagues, and my rock of a husband – Sam, I got through the most challenging nine months of my life. I was fortunate enough to be able to continue work, which gave me some kind of normality. I lost my hair and eyebrows, which was an experience in itself.”
This year, Alison celebrates her fifth year as a breast cancer survivor and being cancer-free. And she decided to celebrate in an unusual way – she signed up for the Pennsylvania half-marathon on October 21st and raised funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
With her two best friends by her side, she completed the half marathon and was able to help raise awareness for breast cancer and exceeded her fundraising goal! That’s a lot of accomplishments to celebrate!
