Every Penny Raised...

is a penny closer to finding a cure.  The other day, I was having a conversation with someone at work.  He told me about a relative of his who has stage IV breast cancer.  She is a young woman, about my age, with a family.  Two young daughters.  Continuing with 6 hour chemo treatments every week, not knowing how much time she has left.  I was so saddened to hear this.  It really affected me.  I know the cure is out there, waiting to be discovered.  It reaffirms just how important breast cancer research is.  Every penny raised is a penny closer to finding the cure. 

I have received such great support for this auction so far, and I want to say thank you.  Family and friends, for their encouragement and support.  Actors, actresses, musicians, sports stars, their staff, cast/crew of television shows and films, and so many others involved in the entertainment industry, for their generous donations, encouraging words, and overall recognition that breast cancer research is such an important cause.  It is so inspirational, knowing that working together, we CAN and WILL make a difference.
