Relay for Life/Make A Wish Foundation

Both of these causes are causes I support, and for me they are link in a way.  When I was in elementary school a girl from our church, and her family had the opportunity to benefit from the Make-A-Wish Foundation and take one last trip as a family.  Sadly, only one day after her return she slipped into a coma and passed away, yet the family was given a wonderful gift.  As time went on I became close with the family's Mother who has been an inspiration and mentor.  A few years ago I participated with a group of high school students as a mentor for a show that raised enough maney to grant 3 family wishes!  What a feeling-I definately encourage everyone to get involved.

 Because my young friend passed away from cancer, and I have an aunt who is a survivor of cancer I am participating in the Relay for Life this year in Phoenixville, PA.  Cancer touches so many people we know.  Let's fight to stomp out this disease!  If you feel led to donate towards my walk you can at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=16749&team_id=407917 under member Kristen. 

 Thank you to all of the ladies for your inspirational stories of service, gratitude and love!
