I'm fabulous over 40 because I'm living my best life living with metastatic breast cancer. I've decided nothing can stop me now.
We would like to thank you for supporting Stacey Bates 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 coming into myself. I no longer feel that I’m fabulous, I know it. It took a long time to get here. No I look at my whole self unapologetically and accept me with all my flaws. I love that being over 40 is really the new 30. Strong , resilient and beautiful. Even with metastatic breast cancer, NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by staying positive. It’s a hard rode, but I continue to fight and listen to my doctors. I show up to treatment in my best self with a big smile and looking like a million bucks. Staying fabulous is easy when you’re already fabulous with flaws.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would donate some to cancer research first. As someone who is fighting, researchers are making huge advances with clinical trials. I would buy a flight to a few countries that I’ve dreamed about with my son and husband. I would also give my family members a little something. I know that $40,000 isn’t a lot, but it will help whatever I give to family members in need. Thanks for considering me.
