Inspirations

Last night widow group met at The World Trade Center, Boston to honor one of the members of our group. S lost her husband to cancer in 2004, after a 6 month battle with cancer. Soon after he died she and her sons spotted a "Conquer Cancer" license plate from NJ. She started a campain to get the same license plates made in MA. She had to get 1,500 people to sign up for them before they could begin production. Well, she got her 1,500 orders, and production has begun. If you live in MA, and want to order a plate, or read more about it, please go to this site
All the money raised will go to four local cancer organizations, including this one. As a result of her hard work and determination, S was given the Gilda Radner award from the Wellness Center last night. S is a major inspiration to all of us in widow group, the award was much deserved, and I feel honored to be her friend.
