Who we are

I still remember the first cup of coffee I had after my mastectomy. It wasn’t just coffee—it was a moment of quiet victory, a small yet powerful act of reclaiming my life. That’s why I believe in the power of a simple mug, a warm drink, and a shared story.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had no idea how much my life would change. The journey through treatment was grueling, but it was the little moments—the laughter, the support, and yes, the coffee—that kept me going. I learned that healing isn’t just about medicine; it’s about connection. It’s about finding strength in unexpected places. That’s what "Mugs for Jugs" is all about.

This idea started as a joke between friends, but it quickly became something more. It became a way to bring survivors together, to sip and share, to laugh and cry, to remind each other that we are more than our diagnosis. Whether it’s a coffee shop meetup, a virtual chat, or simply gifting a mug to a fellow survivor, "Mugs for Jugs" is about fostering courage one cup at a time.

Each mug represents more than just a vessel for coffee; it’s a symbol of resilience, of community, of the unbreakable spirit of those who have faced breast cancer head-on. It’s a way to say, “I see you. I hear you. I stand with you.”

So, to my fellow warriors—let’s raise our mugs in celebration of life, of strength, and of the incredible journey we’ve walked. Let’s continue to share our stories, support one another, and remind the world that courage can be found in the simplest of moments.

Here’s to Mugs for Jugs—where coffee meets courage, and where survivors find solace in every sip.
