One of the top prizes is a portrait of you–painted by Albina. A panel of judges will select a lucky winner from donors over $500 who share their story in the challenge.

Breast cancer affected my mother, but the whole family is still recovering from the drama we all went through. My mother had an operation where one of her breasts was completely removed, and she had six chemotherapies,” says Albina Zorina.  “If I can help save or help one life, that is my goal.

We extend our thanks to the woman behind the scene, celebrity writer Jules Lavallee.  She contacted Linda with her idea of creating a fundraiser using the platform Fund Duel and has been working with great dedication toward reaching her goal of $100,000.

So, what is Fund Dual? It’s a team-based competition with video and photo-based challenges that are shared on social media. The Tutu Project has created a team, and we challenge others in our community to share their story of living with breast cancer. A personal URL can be shared with friends and family encouraging donations to The Tutu Project. To learn more, visit our fundraising page.
