Dear friends,
On Saturday, June 21st,
my family and friends will join me in West Sacramento’s Relay for Life where we
will walk for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
This has been a tough year. My extended family saw two deaths this year due to
Cancer. I was lucky. I survived breast cancer and am enjoying remission.
I don’t take a minute for granted. This is my second year doing Relay for
Life and it’s become an important cause for myself and my family. I imagine
many of us have been affected by Cancer in one way or another. I recently
attended a Survivor’s dinner where I met a woman whose been in remission for 40
years. I got excited to hear those words. But my heart dropped when she
said she was battling her 8th diagnosis. Imagine being
diagnosed 8 times with Cancer. But thanks to research she is still here,
fighting. If you have a moment, please support the American Cancer
Society. Every dollar raised hopefully gets us a little closer to finding a
cure and more birthdays.
If you wish to make a donation
to Team Ladybugs, you can go here: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=58318&pg=team&team_id=1534936
Or perhaps you would like to
join us? If you're local, please come on out. There will be lots of vendors selling food, and other fun
trinkets. I’ll be selling homemade Posole, pan dulce and Mexican chocolate.
Hope to see you there.
