Shalonda Anderson

As part of our Georgia’s Own Heroes series, we’re honoring breast cancer survivor, Shalonda Anderson. Three months before the Making Strides walk, Shalonda was planning what she was going to wear. Her sister, Crystal Hill-Cox, is her seamstress and is sewing a floor-length tutu in hopes that Shalonda will be “spotted” for this year’s tutu contest.

“Every year I dress up, and last year my skirt was so long I couldn’t participate in the walk because I was tripping over it,” says Shalonda.” The 46-year-old breast cancer survivor did her first Making Strides walk in 2017. Shalonda is grateful to be able to join again, which will give her the hope she needs to get through another surgery.
