Linda passed her 2 year mark since diagnosis which is a great landmark for her type of cancer. There is always some anxiety about recurrence but she is doing all the right things to keep things in check.
Some exciting news with us was that I wrote a short essay and nominated Linda for a contest called "Pink Power Mom". It is for breast cancer survivors who are mothers that are giving back to their community. Linda was one of eight winners selected nation-wide! They are flying us to Atlanta next weekend for a four day all expenses paid trip. We also have a spa day allowance, box seats to an Atlanta Falcons professional football game, some spending money, and got some goodies including a video camera. However, the thing Linda was most excited about was that they will donate $10,000 toward a charity of her choice. She is setting up a lymphedema fund for local survivors. It will contribute toward education and equipment such as sleeves for survivors with lymphedema. Click here to see the web page with the pink power moms' stories - they are all amazing women!
Linda and Ava will be modeling in the "Puttin' on the Pink" fundraiser on Saturday. They model clothes from local businesses and help raise money for Project H.E.R. which is a local breast cancer charity. It should be a fun event and I'm sure they will be a hit!
I'll close with some recent photos. Credit to the "Puttin' on the Pink" photographer R.L. Milstein for these three photos:
