Giving back is important to me.
Caring

"Success may be as simple as turning a negative into a positive."
- Unknown
Sometimes life can go terribly wrong. I got cancer ... not once but twice. So, what did I do? After getting cancer the second time, I decided I'd to try to turn a negative into a positive by starting a support group for 'Surviving Cancer'.
This wasn't the first time I'd turned a negative into a positive, either. A few years ago, I cared for my mother who had Alzheimer's. Afterwards, I founded a support group for 'Alzheimer's Caregivers'.
Connecting with people in my support groups is an amazing, inspiring, and humbling experience. Seeing the courage of people facing the biggest challenges of their lives never gets old.

Surviving Cancer
Cancer is a life altering event.
Having the benefit of going through it twice, I decided to start a cancer support group. I think it offers me the opportunity to help others in their journey with cancer.
It's a place where everyone truly understands the fleeting nature of life ... and what it means to have a second chance.

Alzheimer's Caregivers
Nobody is ever fully prepared to care for a loved one with Alzheimer's.
I've found that connecting with other people who are walking down this same path can make a big difference.
