Spotlight
Meet Sandra Goldman: friend, wife, mother, survivor, and an inspiration to us all!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. In 2016 my cancer returned for a second time. The third time was in 2018, when I learned that the cancer had metastasized, thus making me a “LIFER.” However, you need to know, that I am one of the lucky ones. I am alive today only because I was able to secure breast mammograms. Lucky indeed, for I had both access to insurance and the brightest physicians that practiced in the best medical facilities.
I learned about Celebrate the Tatas at its inception in 2010. I have supported this Tournament for so many reasons…. it brings together an amazing sisterhood of female athletes from so many different states, it allows us to honor our friends, sisters and mothers that have been affected by breast cancer, it is a weekend full of laughter, fun and competitiveness, it is educational (learn how to do a self breast exams) and you get to eat, drink and literally scream in support of your favorite team. For me, it is a way to connect with community, a way to come together to do good. It is a way to save a life….. and it just doesn’t get better than that.
Please join me and donate big so that EVERY woman has the opportunity to receive a lifesaving mammogram screening.
If you have a story that you would like us to share, please email Alex at a.vidaurri@ncsoccer.org. We want to celebrate our community members who have been impacted by this disease.
