Michael and I met on September 9, 2025, at our local gym through a mutual friend. We instantly connected and quickly became best friends. A month later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through every surgery, treatment, and setback, he never left my side. His unwavering love, strength, and support carried me through the hardest time of my life. Today, he is not only my partner but my greatest blessing and best friend.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite moments is escaping to cozy mountain Airbnbs, where we hike, cook together, listen to music, play competitive games i kick butt in checkers... and simply enjoy each other's company. During my cancer journey, these weekends became a peaceful escape from reality. Our shared love of cooking and entertaining has only strengthened our bond and inspired us to build a business and future together.
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20,000 would help us take the next step toward our dream of building a food business together. We'd invest in equipment, supplies, and everything needed to launch successfully. We'd also set aside some money to donate to the American cancer society.
