Hello Friends & Family! We are nearing the Susan G. Komen's breast cancer walk-a-thon. Although I have made my minimum goal of $750, there's still time to make a donation to this great cause. Here is an update on my sister-in-law's progress since her diagnosis:
Itβs Breast Cancer Awareness month, and many of us have our own personal connection tied to a pink ribbon. My Sister-in-law, Rowena, is ours.
We ask that you consider donating to our cause and the Susan G Komen 3 Day.
