An excerpt from Amy's story:
"As the river began to calm and the end of my treatment approached, I looked back on the journey with a profound sense of gratitude. My raft, composed of the love, strength, and support of my friends and family, carried me through the most challenging experience of my life. Over five years later, the river is still flowing and unpredictable, with potential rapids ahead, but I know that my raft is strong enough to face whatever may come next. Breast cancer was a formidable challenge, but it also revealed the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the power of love and support. My friends and family, my raft, not only helped me navigate the turbulent waters but also transformed the journey into one of growth, strength, and deepened connections. Together, we conquered the rapids, emerging stronger and more united on the other side."
