I hope that you take the time to really embrace the very act of living consciously on a daily basis—as my mother did so well despite her diagnosis—for her choice to live bravely and fully has ensured that her children own timeless memories of her joyful, loving, energetic, and engaged presence as a mother, wife, and friend to the very end. I hope to see as many of you there as possible, and thank you in advance for your generosity!

I know that some of you will be unable tomake it to the event and so I would ask instead that you consider three other ways to make a difference by: donating an item for the Silent Auction table, making a doantion, or suggesting a woman who might be brave enough to walk down the runway.
