Our friend Justine Claise passed away on June 28, 2005, at the age of 27. She bravely fought cancer for a year and a half. Justine was a loving wife to Matthew West, a beloved member of the Claise and West families, and a great friend to many. She loved gardening, art, photography, her two cats, and spending time with her friends and family. Justine was always an active participant in cancer fundraising, before and after she was diagnosed. We miss her deeply, and we hope to carry on her mission in the years to come.

Last September Team Tangerine walked and raised over $4,000.00, and we were honored as one of the top fundraising teams by UMass.   We want to thank everyone that donated last year!  We hope to be even more successful this year in raising money in Justine's name and doing our part to find a cure for cancer.
