The idea of โgrowing older but not upโ helps me stay young at heart. To me, being fabulous (over 50) is all about living your best life.
We would like to thank you for supporting Keri Hoyt in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love being comfortable/ confident in my own skin. I like drawing on life’s past experiences/ lessons (that have helped me embrace each challenge & triumph along the way.) Life is for the living and (after being diagnosed with cervical cancer when pregnant) I love living my life each & every day.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by waking up each day & seeing it for the gift that it is. I stay fabulous by seeing the rose instead of the thorns. I get outside (play, run, swim, smile). I appreciate more (& complain less) to help find joy in the little things. My faith, my beautiful family, friends, colleagues, all my kiddos (I’m fortunate enough to teach); not to mention my growth mindset - help me stay fabulous on a daily basis. I truly am grateful, thankful, blessed & forever fabulous (at 51).
What would you do with the $40,000?I would love to help my parents with the journey they are on. My Dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (which is why I committed to raising funds & running the NYC Marathon last year -with the Alzheimer’s Association.) My Mom, continues to be our rock while scheduling trials & appointments for my Dad, which is not always easy . I would also love to contribute funds towards METavivor; an organization that gives 100% towards stage IV metastatic breast cancer research. Stage IV needs more. ๐๐๐
