At 32 years old, active, healthy, and a new mom, breast cancer was the last thing I expected. In this AAPI Heritage Month blog, I share my personal story while raising awareness about the growing breast cancer risks facing AAPI women and the importance of breaking the silence around early detection and self-advocacy.

Miles for Moms is off to a strong start in 2026, uniting runners, walkers, and families to raise breast cancer awareness one mile at a time. We have hosted four social events in MA already and hope you join us soon!

The 2025 Miles for Moms event brought together participants from multiple countries who logged over 400 miles and donated $7,500 to our beneficiary, Kelley of Bedford, MA, who is fighting stage 2 triple negative breast cancer, continuing our mission to lessen the financial burden of breast cancer one mile at a time. 💗
