My speaking debut as a breast cancer survivor
On Saturday, I had the opportunity to experience Relay For Life-an absolutely amazing event. All of the survivors walked the track for the first lap together with our families. There were all kinds of events throughout the day to raise money, celebrate and honor cancer survivors. I left for a portion of the day and returned around 9:15. Jon and I walked the track and stopped to listen to the beautiful Havdallah services in the Temple Israel and Temple Shir Shalom tents. At 10:00, they shut the lights down and the track was illuminated by thousands of candles. Lori Buckfire introduced me, and I gave my speech. You can watch the video below.
I’m looking forward to doing more with Relay next year. Hope you’ll all join me for a great event!
