26th Birthday

So happy to celebrate my 26th birthday in India! So grateful to be alive and still dancing in the gardens of the Taj Mahal! Shortly before my 23rd birthday, I first felt my breast tumor. Shortly after my 23rd birthday, I first felt the sternum pain that I later learned was the breast cancer metastasizing to my bones. Despite this very grim prognosis, my fantastic medical team has made it possible for me to keep dancing.

I treasure every day and every moment that I feel well enough to dance. 108 American women die every day from Metastatic Breast Cancer. Please pray that my cancer remains stable and that a cure will soon be found.
