As per my last post, I wrote about my dear friend Jennifer whose fight with cancer was truly inspiring. Unfortunatley, it deeply saddens me to admit thats she passed away a few days after that last post. Her death hit me hard, but more so then making me sad - it has encouraged me to take advantage of life and every opportunity that it brings! She was an amazing person, and not just because she was a cancer survivor. I miss her terribly, and think of her all the time.
She is a driving force behind my becoming the a Regional Chair, and part of the Young Adult Leadership Committee for the I'm Too Young For This Cancer Foundation. Jennifer and I met through this orga nization about a year and a half ago and I'm thankful everyday that I became a p art of this amazing cause.
On June 10th, the New York chapter of I'm too young for this (or I2Y as wel call it) is having it's annual "Un-Gala." It's our area's biggest fundraiser of the year. For those in the NY area, please come out andcelebrate survivorship with us! Tickets are on sale now! If you want to donate you can do that as well at http://ungala.i2y.com
Even though I am sad that Jennifer can't physically be there with me, I know she will be there in spirit!
