Here is my letter that was attached with the above package for MZ & Emmers Sports Bra Auction:
October 10, 2013
My name is Breanna Armstrong, and I am the Managing Editor
of Ultimate MMA Magazine, the longest running and leading MMA magazine in the
industry.
I am thrilled that I was asked to participate in MZ &
Emmers Sports Bra Auction. Included in my package are two sports bras with my
initials “BAM” and some cute shorts to go with the white and mint
Tiffany’s-inspired outfit. I am also including the new issue of Ultimate MMA
Magazine as well as my signed BFM cover.
I am dedicating these sports bras to my dear friend Regina
Stehney, who is a breast cancer survivor. She is one of the bravest people I
know and I was with her and her family through her courageous battle. She is my
mentor and is someone who will always leave a lasting impact on my life and
these sports bras were made with her in mind, as she loves over-the-top,
fabulous designs. I chose to create a pink and black bra and a white and mint
bra with crystals and bows, because she is an artist and loves anything that
stands out.
During Regina’s battle, she taught at my junior high and
high school, even on days when she was sick, she persevered through and without
pause she taught on. Not once did she complain, she loved her students and
continued to teach the art that she so wonderfully mastered, photography and
computers.
Even when she was in her scariest moments, Regina shined
through and made the best out of the situation. She never doubted God’s plan
for her. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they react during a hard
time. And her reaction through her hardest battle was nothing but grace and
gratitude.
Regina survived. She will forever be an inspiration to me,
and I hope her story inspires you as well.
For the fight, for the cause and for the awareness, I made
these items with love and care. I hope whoever receives this package will enjoy
its contents and its meaning.
My best always,
Breanna Armstrong
