Pink Ribbon Moms was born out of my own grief. Just like you, I know how devastating losing a child can be. But when I was at my lowest there came the idea that you now see actualized here, Pink Ribbon Moms.
On January 4, 2021, my daughter Stephanie (pictured below), lost her battle with breast cancer. She died at home in my arms. She was only 37. I was — and still am — devastated by her death. Stephanie was a group fitness instructor who loved dancing. Her members loved her spirit, her kindness, and her passion to help them love their gorgeous bodies no matter the shape or size.
Pink Ribbon Moms believe the mother/daughter bond is one unlike anything else. It comes with fond memories and unconditional love. Mothers and daughters serve as a constant inspiration for each other, which is why losing them is so painful, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts. My daughter Stephanie’s laughter, dreams and inspiration are now a memory. A memory that lives in my broken heart.
