About Me

Join me in the fight against breast cancer....Making Strides Against Breast Cancer - 2008-2009I want to help make a difference in the fight against breast cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk this October in San Diego. I hope you will join me by making a donation in support of my effort.Why Making Strides? Because the American Cancer Society invests the funds I raise in a responsible and effective way, fighting breast cancer on many fronts: groundbreaking research, public awareness and education campaigns, advocacy at the federal and state level to ensure all women have access to mammograms, and free programs and services that improve the quality of life for patients and their families.And at Making Strides, walkers like me unite to honor breast cancer survivors and to educate women about early detection and prevention.How can you help? You can support my efforts by making a donation using my personal online fundraising page. It's safe and simple. All you have to do is click the link below and follow the few easy steps. Last year, 450,000 Making Strides participants raised $45 million, and they did it one donation at a time. So, whether you're able to give $5 or $500, every bit truly does help.Hope starts with me. And hope can start with you.Thank you!

My Interests

Traveling and seeing the world, learning a new language, singing, reading good, honest, challenging books, dancing, going to concerts, having deep conversations with my best friends, being ridiculous and crazy with my best friends, playing water polo, surfing, swimming, anything involving water really, cooking, and hanging out with my family.This is my favorite quote: To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
