Nora, official co-daughter-in-law of NewMexiKen, lost someone she loved very much when her step-mother Priscilla died from breast cancer at age 62 in 2007. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have ever met Priscilla, but I know Nora, and I now know many of Priscilla’s family. I know she was a truly remarkable and much loved woman.
Long-term readers may remember when Nora’s fund raising effort for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer was mentioned on these pages. That was three years ago. Again this year Nora will be raising funds for breast cancer treatment and research.
Please support me and my loved ones as I take an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.
So, on this St. Valentine’s Day, when love is in the air, please click Nora’s Page to learn about — and perhaps support — her fund raising.
And be sure to read Priscilla’s poem, “Air Loss.”
