Lynn's Story

I am a four year breast cancer survivor. I discovered my lump on my 50th birthday. What started out as a scary day has turned out to be the best thing to happen to me. Yes, for me breast cancer was not a bad thing. My husband Christopher and my sons Ryan and Avery have been very supportive and have worked with me for the past four races for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I have had the honor to meet and have some of the best friends you could ask for because of this—survivors and co-survivors. I decided to make this a postive and only look for the good that has come, and will continue to come, from this. I don't discuss my breast cancer in medical terms. I will not allow myself to be defined by the medical terms of my diagnosis. I am Lynn Hall first, wife and mother, then cancer survivor. I have been a Susan G. Komen volunteer for 4 years. I really believe that this organization has assisted in my survivorship. So volunteering for them is my way of saying thank you.

Life can be really good after breast cancer—just ask my family. They are the reason I continue to be positive and happy. I love them and am very thankful they are my co-survivors.
