Pepper,

I just found out about the foundation through this forum and am sorry to have missed your event. I have lost a number of friends to cancer in the past couple years and a most dear girl friend almost exactly a year ago. She was only 54, my age, and I miss her very much. Sitting with her as she passed was one of the hardest times of my life.

Children, which she was unable to have, meant everything to her and they do to me too. Both my husband and I are/were elementary school teachers and our own children are the pinnacles of our lives. A donation will be on its way to St. Baldrick's very soon. After all the oppositional discussion I've participated in in the last few days, I am so glad to read of your inspiring action.
