Fighting breast cancer is very important to me because my grandma died of breast cancer last year. At first you couldn't really tell that she had cancer. Then she had to have her breast removed surgically. She seemed okay for awhile, but then slowly started to slip away. First she had a fall, where she broke her wrist. Then she had a lot of pain. Eventually the doctors figured out that the breast cancer had spread to her skin, her stomach, her liver, her lungs... everywhere.

Over the course of three months she went from being lively and vibrant to not being able to talk. When this picture was taken, it was Thanksgiving. She wasn't strong enough to talk, she only muttered and my mom had to translate for me. She could barely open her eyes.

Soon she was gone and I never want anyone to die of breast cancer again, be it a grandma, a mother or anyone else.
