Making Saves for Grandma!

Dear Friends and Family,

This will be my 3rd year participating in October Saves. At first, I did all my fundraising in memory of my Am-ma (Grandma) who we lost in 2021 to cancer. She had 3 different kinds, including breast cancer. However over the last two years, I have met so many people who have been affected by this horrible disease. This year I'm fundraising with so many of these people in mind. I'm fundraising for all of our friends and family who may have someone they lost or who is currently fighting cancer. Please consider supporting me as I work to make saves to fight cancer!

When you donate, please share any family or friends who have fought this disease- those fighting, those we lost, those who are survivors. I will add their names to my list here:

Fundraising for those we've lost, for survivors, and for those still fighting-

Linda Howard (Am-ma), Victoria Vaknin, Sue Baldi-Fields, Mickey Fields, Elliott Ross, Claudia, Jane, Carole, Susan (SUZ) Hoegel, Mark Cramer, Sharon Bilanin, Kathy MacDonald, Eleanor Barton, Wade DeBruin, Michelle Kim, Stefanie Walther, Grace Polychronakos, Peter Polychronakos, Kay B. Michael, Carlos Prior, Mimi Blejwas, Frank Cicerale, Joanna Dobrowolska

Tonight we had a night off hockey so we added the names of all those shared by our donors to my shirt. As we add these names it makes me so sad to see how many people know a loved one who has fought this horrible disease. It doesn’t matter what form it’s in- breast cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer- it still hurts to know how many have struggled. Parents, grandparents, spouses, friends, kids… it’s just never fair. I am proud to wear a shirt with my grandma’s name next to other fighters. I will keep raising money so that someday our list of names will get shorter. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far!
