Cindy and her niece Kylie

My niece was only 13 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was scared, and so was she. While my family and friends supported me with comfort, she nourished my soul. She tried to teach me social media apps and we talked about her friends, school and 13 year old stuff.
When I created Each Moment We’re Alive #EMWAlive through my own need for moving beyond cancer, she volunteered at each event.

Susan

The path to defeating cancer is Hope, Faith, Courage, Medicine, and Support. EACH MOMENT WE’RE ALIVE fulfills these steps in supporting my journey both during and after treatments.

Courtney

My story began on July 13, 2018 at the age of 47.I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. My world stopped there and only got harder. After meeting Cindy, she encouraged me to join her support group. I was hesitant and afraid, but I knew I needed to surround myself with other women who walked the same path. I am so glad I did. Immediately I felt compassion, comfort and security with these women. I never looked back. I couldn’t have made it through without Each Moment We’re Alive and the relationships

Cindy Deb

Each Moment We’re Alive cares about you. They listen and respond with laughter, a smile, or tears depending on your news or update, and rally around you like no other. It may be as simple as a hug or shoulder to cry on when needed. No judgment, just genuine compassion. EACH MOMENT WE’RE ALIVE makes a difference for so many struggling with their diagnosis and treatment and I’m not sure what I would do or where I’d be if I didn’t have their support.

Lori

The bright spot through all of this, for me, has been the many levels of support I have received from the cancer support group, EACH MOMENT WE”RE ALIVE, based right here in Western Massachusetts. This group of dynamic women is made up of those who have either beaten cancer once or more, women who have been recently diagnosed, and woman who are dealing with cancers for which there are no known cures yet.

Mary

I have learned to be a better cancer survivor from EMWA. I sing, dance, and take silly selfies with my classmates. The Circle of Angles group keeps growing which is good. This means that my networking circle keeps growing. I love the positive vibes that the EMWA provides. If we have a rough spot, we are all in it together watching the next person’s back.
