October 7, 2016

It is no secret to many of you that I am a breast cancer survivor – thankfully, this year marks a full decade of being cancer-free.

Many of you may remember last October, I had a FUNdraising campaign “raise the dough” and support Three Brothers Bakery’s Susan G.

In light of Angelina Jolie’s announcement

May 15, 2013

In light of Angelina Jolie’s announcement of having a double mastectomy I decided to be one of the millions to weigh in on her decision.  Kudos for not only having the courage to come forward but kudos in putting your life and your family before having natural breasts.  WE ARE NOT OUR BREASTS!  And for those who might get cancer and have treatment WE ARE NOT OUR HAIR! Most who […]

Susan G. Komen – A Memory From The Early Years

September 28, 2012

In the early 1990s I was working at a telecommunications company in Dallas. Someone in our company met Nancy Brinker who had just created a charity called Susan G.
