“I had breast cancer in 2017 and had surgery,” Salupo said.

“This past February I was diagnosed again, for the second time.”

“I went through chemotherapy and finished in July, and I’m currently going through radiation.”

Sherie, a Breast Cancer survivor, says she mainly attended the event to help spread both her story– and Salupo’s ongoing story.

“All that love and support you can feel and it helps you get through your journey with cancer.”

The walk raised a total of $287 thousand, as of the publish date.
