Stephanie Wade, ABC 7

---

Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie Wade. I’m a reporter for ABC 7 Chicago and will be representing my amazing station at this year’s Dancing with Chicago Celebrities! 

With great trepidation, I agreed to dance this year. Not because I’m an experienced dancer (because I certainly am not), but I, as so many others, have been impacted by breast cancer. We lost my dear Aunt Thelma, one of my best friends in the world, to triple-negative breast cancer in 2018.

Raising funds for access to care and innovative research in the fight against breast cancer is not only important, but absolutely critical to save lives.

I’m excited to learn different styles of dance and show what I got on the dance floor this year!
