Rebecca Binder, passed away just days before her 58th birthday. In 2020, she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), a rare form of breast cancer caused by a genetic mutation.
Courageous, strong, and independent, my mom didn't want people to know she had cancer. Instead, she carried on with her treatments and continued doing the things she loved most - sailing, skiing, travelling. Despite her numerous rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries, she always kept her beautiful smile and sense of humor.
Given that TNBC accounts for only 10-15% of all breast cancers, there isn’t much research on treatments. Thanks to the doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital in NYC, my mom was able to spend three years with her family.
I hope that fundraisers like Cycle for Survival will enable the next family to have even more time with their loved one.
Thank you for your donation,
Leah, Chuck, & Benj
