Reds to honor Honorary Bat Girl Rupert on Monday

Here is an excerpt from Rupert's winning submission to HonoraryBatGirl.com:

"I'll never forget how I felt when I found the 'lump' in my right breast. After being told that I have Stage 1 triple negative breast cancer, I remind myself every day that I am not a statistic. I am me. My outcome will be my outcome. My story is mine, and I am not a number. So here I am. A new mom, a business owner and an avid volunteer. I don't have time to think about the 'what ifs.' There is no alternative. I'm in it to win it.
