Had you not been working so hard for the recognition, I may not have ever known about the genetic testing or had the opportunity to be a previvor. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is now my mission to join your crusade with my full FORCE! Please reach out to me as I am happy to help in any way I can. Thank you.

I found the link through my aunt on Facebook and surprisingly noticed my colleague holding the torch. She would love a copy of the picture. I know it would mean a lot to her. Is there anyway I can get the file so I can print it for her?

This post is beautiful, powerful, and inspiring…just like both you and Linda P.
Thank you for all you do and also teaching me that one person, and especially, a few sincere people, can really make a difference. You have saved lives. You have improved lives. You honor lives lost way too soon.
Love, Ziva
