Sunshine Insurance Event Celebrates 7 Years

BTC will once again support this weekend’s Susan G Komen Bahamas Race for the Cure and Marathon Bahamas events.

Strides for Hope- Running to Support People Touched by Cancer

The number of participants continues to grow from year to year.

My name is Keya. What an honor to share my story with you. My prayer is that somewhere along the line of my story, you will feel hope and strength.

They say time flies when you are having fun. I would like to say time has flown because my life has been a blast, full of laughter and health, yet looking back it is hard to believe that five years ago, my life was drastically changed forever because of that moment where time stood still and life seemed hopeless.

Cancer doesn’t care what color or creed you are

Two years after the birth of my first daughter I discovered a lump in my right breast through self-examination. My doctor advised me to have it biopsied. I was twenty-eight-years-old at that time. Thankfully, the result was benign.

Five years later, after the birth of my second daughter, I discovered that once again I had a lump in my left breast. This time, the lump was the size of a grape. My doctor requested that I have a mammogram and biopsy done. It was then that I learned I had stage 2 breast cancer. I was just 33-years-old.

Over the January 14-15 weekend of 2017, in New Providence, the eighth running of the Sunshine Insurance Marathon Bahamas will take place.
