Support live saving research for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).

My name is Rachel Ford, and I’m proud to say I’m a survivor of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)—an aggressive and rare form of breast cancer that too few people know about and even fewer understand.

I was diagnosed in November 2020 at the age of 37 with Stage 3B Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, & Invasive Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. The trifecta that nobody wants! It turned my world upside down. Treatment was long, intense, and life-altering. But I made it through with the support of loved ones, incredible medical teams, and organizations like the IBC Network Foundation—an organization laser-focused on funding actual research for this overlooked disease.

Today, I’m asking for your help. I’m raising funds for the IBC Network Foundation so that more people can live through a diagnosis like mine—and so that fewer people have to face it at all.

I'm incredibly excited to support this cause during a special fundraiser at the RMGM Promotions Texas Mineral & Fossil Conroe Show. We’ll be holding a vendor-only silent auction to benefit this mission. Every dollar raised helps fuel actual, promising research into treatment and, hopefully, a cure.

Please consider donating on this page if you'd like to support me and this incredible cause. No amount is too small, and every single gift matters.

Help me pay it forward and support lifesaving research for Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). Please donate in my honor and help us change the story of IBC—together.

With love and gratitude,
Rachel Ford
