All about our family's fight against breast cancer and our love of motorcycles.
Welcome to Harleys for Hooters!
Welcome to our blog!
In October of 2005, my mom (MaryJoe) was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through lumpectomy and radiation. At that time, we started doing the Race for a Cure through the Susan G Komen Foundation and Strides Against Breast Cancer with the American Cancer Society.
My mom had a large support group throughout her fight, her husband, her kids, grandkids, nieces/nephews, in-laws and friends so we decided to make a group for these events. Being that my parents (and now some of the rest of us) were motorcycle riders we named our group “Harleys For Hooters”.
In May of 2008, MaryJoe was diagnosed with breast cancer for a 2nd time. She went through a bilateral mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and reconstructive surgery. She was such a fighter… was so positive… and thankfully is now cancer free.
Every May and October we walk/run in her honor. She is such a blessing to us and we want to do all we can to advocate early detection b/c if she wasn’t on top of it, the outcome could have been worse. Let's do what we can to Save the TaTa's.
We are going to use this page to show pictures, talk about events, and keep everyone updated on our journey. Feel free to comment or email me if you want something posted here.
Keep saving 2nd base and keep the rubber side down!
