As I prepare to go to Washington D.C. for my first conference, I find myself noodling around the internet again, just learning. There are a couple of women whose blogs I follow, and one of them led me to this.
I have ranted before about how angry it makes me when a sister falls, or when I discover her story only after she has left this earth. This is a stirring post by a woman who is fighting, a woman I’ve never met, who has opened my eyes about the “pink underbelly” of cancer research and fundraising, beyond the walks and the wristbands. It’s a vitally important perspective to take to D.C. with me.
Deadline 2020 is for the CURE. That means prevention and CURE, the end of metastatic disease as well as early stage breast cancer.
Onward!

Go get ‘em. I hope I can do this one year. We do need advocates who are aware of what awareness really means. With your articulate self
you will be a very capable advocate. I look forward to hearing about what you learn. Yay, Elizabeth. A big thank you to you along with an even bigger hug, donna peach
