Chicago South Suburban Events | October 24 – 26, 2025

Last Saturday, I had the honor of joining the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk—and it was such an emotional and inspiring experience. 💕👟 Surrounded by survivors, families, and supporters, I felt the strength and unity of our community in every step.

I walked to honor those we’ve lost, celebrate survivors, and stand with everyone still fighting. This walk reminded me how powerful it is when we come together with purpose and love.

What about you? How do you give your best when it comes to supporting awareness, early detection, and the people in your life affected by breast cancer? 💞

📸 Proud to walk for a cause that touches so many hearts. 💗
