<p>As part of our Women’s Fitness Day series, we hosted a kickboxing class led by the amazing Mark Smiley at <em>The Cellar Above Ground</em> in Los Angeles. It wasn’t just about sweating — it was about <strong>strength, sisterhood, and survivorship</strong>.</p>
<p>This event brought together women of all ages and backgrounds for one powerful purpose: to move our bodies and uplift our spirits — together.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Fitness Days Matter for Survivors</h3>
<p>For breast cancer survivors, fitness is a tool to reconnect with the body, manage stress, and reduce risk of recurrence.</p>
<p><strong>Our Women’s Fitness Day events offer:</strong></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Judgment-free wellness spaces</li>
<li>Opportunities for survivors and supporters to connect</li>
<li>Events designed for joy, healing, and movement — not pressure</li>
</ul>

<p>Every year, the ARD Walk Run is more than just a fundraiser — we come together to honor the women at the heart of our mission: <strong>breast cancer survivors.</strong></p>
<p>This year, we made it a priority to pause the celebration, quiet the noise, and make space for deep recognition. Too often, the resilience of Black women facing breast cancer is celebrated in passing — we wanted to celebrate it out loud, in full color, and with real gifts of gratitude.</p>
<p>Thanks to the generous in-kind support of one of our donors, we were able to gift our honored survivors with curated goodie bags filled with self-care items, snacks, and heartfelt tokens of appreciation. </p>
<p>As survivors crossed the finish line or simply soaked in the support of the crowd, volunteers personally handed them their bags and offered hugs, cheers, and tears of joy. The moment became a beautiful reminder that healing is not just medical — it’s community, care, and celebration.</p>
<p>When we honor survivors, we’re reminding the world that their journey didn’t end with diagnosis or treatment. They continue to lead, love, and inspire. That’s worth celebrating — every day.</p>
