Marsha K. Bullock
Year of Diagnosis: 1992
Age at Diagnosis: 31 years

In your thirties you are just starting to figure life out. There are careers to advance, relationships to build and families to nurture. At this point, you are just getting started. The last thing on your mind is breast cancer. Yet in 1992, at the tender age of thirty-one, Marsha K. Bullock had to think about breast cancer in the midst of being a young woman. And no, every day was not a breeze thereafter. Life never is.

What got Marsha through the tough times? It was her faith. Her faith affirmed, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13). Faith was her anchor. That was then. Thankfully, there is a now.

A vibrant fifteen year (and counting) breast cancer survivor, Marsha lives life to the fullest reading and spending time with her family. Having emerged a stronger and more confident woman, Marsha’s faith has been fashioned anew because of what she has gone through. Marsha’s faith has given way to hope. Hope that lives for today and eagerly looks forward to tomorrow.

“But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” (Romans 8:25)
