I am fighting in honor of my strong, beautiful grandmother who we lovingly call Yia Yia, and who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when I was a kid. Like so many others who have been impacted by this horrible disease, we lost a true angel on earth.

I am thankful for the opportunity to fight in remembrance of Yia Yia and also to contribute to the fight against cancer.

Stepping in the ring to fight is no small task, but nothing compared to the battles that those diagnosed with cancer have and continue to fight. Join me in this journey to change the lives of others and knock out cancer!
