Westfield Coach Hopes to Raise $2,000 to Fight Breast Cancer

When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, I made it my personal mission to ensure that others had the same positive experience that she did. Due to early detection, cutting edge treatment, and the incredible medical staff that she worked with her experience was the best it could have been under the circumstances.

Many of you know that my family is a soccer family, so what better way to raise money but to include my team! For the third year, the Westfield High School girls varsity soccer team will be raising money for local breast cancer charities. In the last two years we have raised approx. $18,000! These young ladies have so much going on in their academic, athletic and personal lives, and for them to take the time to raise money for those in need is truly heart warming.

With your help, someone's mother, sister, daugher, wife or friend can one day say they are a survivor.
