#CancerIsPersonal Story:
A little over a year ago I lost my Papaw Hynds to cancer. He hands down had the biggest impact on my life and meant the world to me. He battled cancer for quite some time. He was first diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer a few years back.
#CancerIsPersonal Story:
I never really knew my great grandpa well, but I did know that he was a fighter. He had battled lymphoma which ultimately sent him home, but this foundation is a fantastic way to raise awareness so that others can hopefully find a cure and end this terrible disease.

My story is short. I lost my mom to cancer three months ago. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her and shed a tear. My sister and way too many friends have battled this disease. We need to find a cure!!!
#CancerIsPersonal Story:
Cancer has touched way too many family members throughout my life. The first time I was old enough to understand what was going on was when my Gram was faced with her battle with cancer when I was in high school.

#CancerIsPersonal Story:
Cancer became personal to me in 2001 when my friend, Pam Herts, was diagnosed with breast cancer. At 31 years old, this wasn't supposed to happen. She inspired me, and a group of my friends, to do something about it... to truly do something to raise money for cancer research. The H Foundation was born... a movement was started... a community has come together.
#CancerIsPersonal Story:
#CancerIsPersonal. I'm raising my hand, pledging, to find a cure for Cancer. For my Mom, my inspiration, a breast cancer warrior, and to all my friends and family who have been touched by this disease. Please share your story, donate, or volunteer today. Together we can make a difference. https://www.hfoundation.org/cancer-is-personal

Losing someone to cancer changes your outlook on life. In October of 2015, I watched my family deal with the grief that comes from losing someone to cancer. My cousin John passed away after a stem cell transplant that we hoped would save his life.
