One of the most compassionate acts that any human being can preform, is to offer another assistance in whatever fashion that they are capable of. And there are numerous ways that we can help The Silver Lining Cancer Fund.

This local, non-profit organization has been very dear to my heart since my own battle with breast cancer in 1989. My diagnosis came at a time when health insurance was not attainable and we were raising a very young family. The SLCF came to my rescue as they covered the cost of many of my medications that helped me conquer my disease. This same organization helped us with these same kind of expenses that were not covered by insurance throughout Jessica's journey.

I encourage you to visit the SLCF's website at: http://www.silverliningfund.org/ Not only can you learn more about their mission, but by clicking on the "testimonials" page, you will find a wonderful letter written by Jessica's friends who raised over $2,200 for the SLCF through a half marathon held in Arizona on January 17, 2010. They did this, not only to honor Jessica's memory, but to give back to an organzation who gives so much to so many.

And if you are able to donate to this well-deserving group, please let them know that you are doing it for the many families that they have helped...past, present and future....but especially for a mom and a daughter who never lost hope...and with a story to tell...

God Bless you.
