Empowering Women and Changing Lives

Cutting the Costs of Breast Cancer

Turning Pain Into Purpose

What began as an intimate online chronicle of my breast cancer journey has transformed into One Tough Titty, a non-profit committed to easing the heavy toll cancer takes on our lives. I’ve learned through my own fight and by meeting countless brave women, that cancer doesn’t just affect your body; it drains your finances, emotions, self-esteem, and mental well-being. In a time when breast cancer is on the rise among younger women, my mission is to create a supportive community in West Michigan where every woman can access the help she needs to fight back.

At One Tough Titty, every donation can have a significant impact on the life of a woman and her family. The best part of our work is that your generosity goes directly to supporting real women in our community, and at our annual golf outing, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the woman (hopefully women if we can raise enough) whose life your contribution has helped transform.

Together, we can change the narrative around breast cancer. By coming together and supporting one another, we turn small acts of kindness into powerful ripples of change. One tough titty at a time.

“I turned One Tough Titty into a non-profit because I know firsthand how relentless cancer can be. Juggling treatment, work, and family while dealing with financial stress impedes the healing process. If I can help lighten that load even a little, I’m giving women one less thing to fight, so they can focus on reclaiming their lives.”
