Because cancer picked the wrong woman!

Why I’m Walking for Women’s Cancer

Hi, I’m Dianna — breast cancer survivor, professional practical joker, caffeine addict and living proof that listening to your body can save your damn life.

I’m walking for women’s cancer because I found my lump myself… and for a while, I ignored it. I told myself I was being dramatic. I told myself it was nothing. Turns out, it was something. 

A very big something.

Cancer doesn’t just mess with your body — it messes with your head, your confidence, and your idea of who you are. One minute you’re planning life, the next you’re learning words like biopsy, chemo, and radiation. Not exactly on anyone’s vision board.

So now I walk for:

• the women who are too scared to check
• the women in the middle of treatment
• the women who didn’t get the chance to make jokes about it
• and for myself, because surviving this gave me a loud mouth and a mission

I refuse to let cancer be a quiet, shameful thing we don’t talk about. I talk about it with honesty, humour, and zero filter — because awareness works better when people are actually listening.

I’m building a team of legends to walk with me. Not just to raise money, but to raise hell (and awareness). We’ll walk with purpose, with sass, and probably with inappropriate jokes on our shirts.

If cancer has touched your life — or if you just believe women deserve better outcomes — come join my team. Walk beside me. Laugh with me. Help me turn my survival into something that helps save someone else.

Because cancer picked the wrong woman.

And now we’re walking back at it.

Have the day you deserve, cancer. 💅

Love,
Dianna 🩷
