Today I volunteered at the American Cancer Society: Making Strides for Breast Cancer. It was held in Ocean City, NJ. I basically just had to work in the Survivor Tent and hand out pink shirts. I froze my ass off but met a lot of cool women who are breast cancer survivors. Even a few young ones. I made sure to tell them about The Young Survivor Coalition and how amazing it is to be on the boards, go to the conferences and meet other young women that have been diagnosed.
One woman was funny. She was 38 and just was diagnosed in February. I told her about the YSC and about the website. She turned to her friend and said to us.."tell her what its called so she can remember, I can't remember anything'!
Man, do i know that feeling!
Nice work babe.
I am proud of you for volunteering for such a good cause.
You should be very proud of yourself.
