I have lost two wonderful influences in my life to cancer. Today I am helping a truly great friend fight this disease.

Emma: my nanny, my friend. I have lost her.
Gene: my father-in-law, my Family. I have lost him.
Kim: my friend, my true friend. I HAVE NOT LOST HER!

Cancer has effected me throughout my life. I have lost someone special, time and time again.
Kim is fighting cancer of the brain. She is so strong and so positive. Even when she has a difficult day, she pulls herself back up and steps forward to another day. She is wonderful. I absolutely will not let go of her. When she calls, I will answer. When she reaches for me, I will be there.

Emma, Gene, Kim. I love you!
