Bio

I was born and raised in Williamsport, PA (Home of Little League Baseball). I moved to California in the 80's where I met my husband of 13 years. In July of 2007 I found a lump under my breast that turned out to be breast cancer and had a lumpectomy. Just four months later, cancer was discovered again resulting in my choosing to have a double mastectomy. I have lost many members of my family to cancer. My Father died of lung and brain cancer and in 2008 after a lengthy battle, my baby brother died of renal cancer also known as kidney cancer. I am also a survivor of domestic violence. I want to share stories of my life to help and inspire others. Another important fact is that I love martinis, ice cream (chocolate of course), and peanut butter. Please don't tell anybody, but sometimes that is my dinner.
