From Nicole Pinelli Kucera

On June 8, 2023, I was diagnosed with inflammortory HER2+ breast cancer. Since then, I have undergone 6 treatments of chemo, had a mastectomy, done 25 rounds of radiations and receive infusions every 3 weeks. My journey so far would not have been possible without my supportive family, friends and community. I am grateful to all of you for supporting the cure efforts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from the hearts of my family and dear friends for supporting this extraordinarily important cause.  My Goal for this 5k is to raise $10,000.00 for Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.  Thank You Everyone! Nicole
