Three years ago I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. Having cancer has been a completely life changing experience for my family and I. Throughout my treatment and recovery I have fallen in love with many young, special, and very brave children. These children and teens are my reminders everyday to enjoy and love life! In honor of all of my friends, my family and I have become very involved with two wonderful organizations, The Pediatric Cancer Foundation and the Children's Cancer Center. The Pediatric Cancer Foundation is a foundation who is making great strides in research and is working everyday to fund a cure for pediatric cancers.

The Children's Cancer Center is an organization who provides emotional and financial support to families who have a child diagnosed with cancer.
