DETERMINED is my WORD! When preparing for this year’s fundraiser, I set my goal high--not only to raise funds, but awareness. In addition to messaging my own contacts, posters, and yard signs, I sent emails to local news stations and newspapers. I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by CBS, but the final segment left me feeling like my voice was still unheard. After speaking with the manager of the local NOCC chapter and hearing that she had been trying unsuccessfully to get media coverage during her ten years of service, I decided that something HAS to change! I will continue to push to bring more awareness to ovarian cancer! I will reach a larger audience! I will be heard! Now I’m sending messages to national news networks! Watch out world, here I come!!! I have been wearing the pictured anklet for the last year. I rarely read the word, but I know its there, providing the reminder I need to keep pushing! if anyone is interested in getting their word stamped, message me and I'll make it for you. Please share this message with your friends and family. Turn September TEAL |
