We started Strides for Survivors after our mom, Stephanie, went through breast cancer. She was fortunate enough to find TurningPoint, the breast cancer rehabilitation center that supported her journey through post surgery life. The support that TurningPoint gave our mom helped her get back to herself and made her recovery so much easier. She was able to find her “new normal” and began to thrive rather than just survive. Giving back to the organization that gave us our mom back just seemed like the least we could do. The donations to TurningPoint allow other women and their families going through the tough journey of breast cancer access to physical therapy, massages, informative classes, and much more. Supporting this incredible foundation helps to provide complementary programs and financial aid so that others can get back on their feet like our mom did.
