As the founding Executive Director of Support Connection, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to share why this organization means so much to me.

When my girlfriend Isabel was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990, there was no place in our community to talk to someone who could understand what she was going through. That all changed in 1996 when the doors of Support Connection opened. I am so proud that I worked with co-founders Nancy Heller and Rich Adamski to get Support Connection off the ground. Each and every day, I have the chance to honor Isabel's memory by our work.

Support Connection is unique. When a person calls Support Connection, he or she talks to a person who has had cancer themselves. You can speak to a Peer Counselor, join a support group, attend a yoga class, get information and much more. Our free and confidential services are available for you whether it is for minutes, hours, days or years. A person dealing with breast or ovarian cancer or a family member doesn't have to do it alone!  Even though we have grown and have now offered support to thousands of people all over the country, our philosophy remains the same.  While we all want a cure, there has to be somewhere for people who are living with cancer to turn to.  Support Connection is that place. 

It is never too early to start fundraising for the Walk as your donation is at work all year long.

To all of you who have supported me in my efforts and have made a donation, THANK YOU SO MUCH !! You are really helping make a difference.
