Cure ACC, NFP

06/29/2025

And that's a wrap. Yesterday I celebrated—yes, celebrated—the 8 year anniversary of what started this journey. June 27th in 2017 was the day my beautiful Mama passed away. June 27th, 2025 I donated 3 feet of my hair to Wigs for Kids: a nonprofit that makes wigs for kids with hair loss. This hair cut marks the ending of CureACC. Everything I have done through CureACC was in honor of my mom who was taken from this world far too young after 8 years of fighting Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. I have done a lot since I last got to talk to her... So here it is:

Hi Mama. We haven't been able to see each for a long time, but I promise I'm still making you proud. About 8 months after you died, I started an Instagram account to help find other people with the cancer you had. I don't know why I did. I think I guess I just needed a way to know there were more people out there that had a similar story to you. Or maybe I was just struggling to cope and found an outlet. Either way, I am so thankful I did. People started to reach out to me and tell me their stories. And, Mama, they broke my heart. There are people battling cancer alone. We were constantly surrounded by love. I was constantly surrounded by love. Your love. Even after you left, 8 years ago, I still feel your love. Thank you for giving me the extra help while I grew that tiny Instagram account into this nonprofit. I have done things you couldn't even believe with CureACC! I have helped so many people. I have donated to the same hospital that you got treatment with. I have moved to Auburn, your alma mater, and donated to hospitals down there. I have made a name for myself that inspires others to help people just like you taught me to. And yesterday, I cut off 3 feet of my hair!! That's a lot of hair... It's to my shoulders now. Remember when it was that short? You would always put a bow in my hair. I still have all of those bows by the way. I cherish them... I cherish everything you have ever done for me. I miss you, and I hope I'm doing what you wanted me to and much much more. Thank you for everything. I love you❤️

I'm finally here posting the updates I promised a few months back. The update I have is a bitter one, and it was a decision made with a heavy heart and an open mind for the years to come. After 7 years of operating, CureACC is coming to an end. Everything I have done has been in honor of my Mama, so I wanted to share a little about who she was in this post. 
Beverly Merrell German was, as one of her friends described her, the closest thing to an angel this Earth would ever have. The people from her hometown that watched her grow up recounted the way her eyes danced as a kid. And I was blessed with 10 years of watching those same eyes, just seasoned with age, dance with joy, hope, and love. Joy for every bit of life she lived. Hope for the days to come and who I would grow up to be. Love for all those around her and all God's creatures. She was the first to volunteer for anything (open to volunteers or not) at my school. As much as she loved lunch monitor duty, she took the most pride in Mrs. Meade's pencils that she offered to sharpen because she overheard how much she hated hearing the pencil sharpener during class. I would be sent down the hall every Monday with a bag of 100 freshly sharpened pencils. Something along with every toilet paper tube that we had gone through for the kindergarten teachers' student projects.
She was sure to pack every day we had together with fun and unconditional love. I have been told over and over again by all of her friends how much she loved being my Mama. But don't worry, I already knew that. She only dared leave me once. Her and Wiko went to Scotland, and I was heartbroken. The first morning I woke up without her, I walked downstairs to see brown paper bags lined up, one for each day she was gone, with a little surprise in each bag. Her love for me and the rest of the world never waivered despite the battles she fought. And even now, I can feel that love in everything I do and all the blessings I stumble into. To this day, I'm still waking up every morning and opening one of the little brown paper bags she made sure to leave me before she left. Each packed with a little surprise and a lot of love for the day. ❤️

Happy Birthday, Mama. It's been a while since I've posted anything on this account or done much with CureACC, but I promise I still think about you everyday and live to make you proud. I'm about to do something pretty cool too. It's something we did together a few times. I'm excited, and I hope you will love it.

I love you and miss you

I'm late. I posted on my Facebook but forgot about Instagram. I'm just trying to celebrate March 14th...

One year ago today, I pulled up to a random news station to do a live segment for CureACC. Turns out, I landed a spot on WBRC aka Fox 6. My jaw dropped as I realized that I was getting to sit back and enjoy the results of all of my hard work that started 7 years ago today.
March 14, 2018 marks the start of CureACC (cureacc.com) with a very poorly designed Instagram post. I truly do not have enough words to express how much I had loved the past 7 years and the journey that one Instagram post took me on. All I can say is I can not believe everything I have worked for, experienced, and everyone I have met throughout this. I have updates to come on the next stages of my life. But for now, thank you to everyone who has supported me while I was losing sleep and walking into high school 3 hours late after morning meetings. Thank you to the hospitals and news stations that gave a kid a chance to make a small impact in that world. Thank you to the online community that rallied together to support a 12 year old advocating for a cancer that took her mom just a few months before. Updates to come. But as always:

I am so excited to announce the next phase of our Get Ahead of Cancer campaign! Before I even moved to Alabama, East Alabama Medical Center reached out to me asking if I will continue this campaign in Auburn. I wasn't completely sure if I would, but when I went to meet everyone at their cancer unit, I knew I needed to keep this going. We are donating 75 care packages to the Spencer Cancer Center in Opelika, Alabama!! While we don't need assembly days yet, I am hoping to get a few groups together to write fun and inspiring notes on the outside of the care packages. Stay tuned for more involvement opportunities!

And that's a wrap!

The last 150 care packages were finished tonight which means all 500 are put together!!

I have much more to say. But for now, just know that I will actually get some sleep now :)

One last assembly day!! We are coming back to St. Matthews to finish this campaign. This Thursday, we are getting the last 150 care packages put together to go out to Kirby and Carle hospitals. I hope to see everyone there!
If you want to help ease my anxious mind, RSVP at cureacc.com/events if you plan on coming!
