“I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

Fund-raising

When I authored the haiku poem, "The Joy of the Journey", little did I know the phone would ring just days later with a true hero on the other line, Velda Rockel, President of The 90 Minute Nanny. Velda explained her desire to give back to the community with the blessing of a growing new business, and she asked if I would be the beneficiary of the "Art with a Heart" program explained below. I drifted to my favorite line of the poem, "to share is to live," and was overcome by emotion at this opportunity to allow children to share their artistic talents, to further share my story, and ultimately to share with others who struggle with this disease through support of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. I am humbled and honored to be a part of this incredible initiative.
