MY STORY: Rebecca Bullard

Iwas 44 years old when I got my very first mammogram. I was switching jobs and my insurance was going to run out in two days, so I thought I’d squeeze in my first annual mammogram before I had no health insurance. Little did I know it would be my last mammogram as well. One year later, after five surgeries, many complications, and the emotional rollercoaster of all times, I was finally healed and ready to move on. Early in my treatment, a friend from high school told me I should contact Circle of Hope. I hadn’t heard of them. They are a local breast cancer charity the helps with everyday living expenses and medical bills for patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer. They helped me tremendously and eased my financial burden so I could concentrate on fighting cancer and healing, both physically and spiritually. I am now chair for the Board of Directors for Circle of Hope! I am committed to giving back to our community and paying it forward. Thank you to all my friends and family and especially Circle of Hope for your love and support!
