Danielle

I'm a 42 year old dual career kind of girl. I work in distribution full-time and am a fitness professional part-time.In 2003, on my dad's 58th birthday, I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma insitu Breast Cancer. It was discovered in my baseline mammogram. One surgery (a surgical biopsy later referred to as a lumpectomy) and 25 radiation treatments later, my life became semi-normal again (I'm not quite normal to begin with :-) )In 2006, my Paul and I co-founded the organization Rockin' for a Reason; A Celebration of Life which raises money for breast cancer programs. In 2006, our first event netted $3200 with $1500 going to the local charity, The Inspiration for Hope Foundation, and $1200 going to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. In 2007, our event, Rocktoberfest netted $6000 with $3000 going to The Inspiration for Hope Foundation and $2000 going to the ACS. We're hoping for an even greater 2008 in celebration of my five year anniversary of being cancer free!!
