Saturday night, March 7th, 2009 Tiffany and I were guests at the 2nd Annual MMORE Gala in Columbus, Ohio.
With over 450 people in attendance, the MMORE organization’s goal was to beat the money raised the previous year of $65,000.
This was the first time Tiffany and I had attended such an event and the emotions that ran through us was overwhelming at times.
Anya Kohn-Minton, who is Ohio’s new regional chair for ‘I’m Too Young For This!’, put together a fabulous table of 10 of the most amazing people.
Hearing the story of 20,000 diagnosed every year with multiple myleoma, and how aggressive The James at Ohio State has become with this disease really gives hope to those of us who have gone through cancer that someday, like AIDS, we’ll see our numbers decrease from dying of cancer.
I just want to thank Nancy Kaufman and Stephanie Freeman for making us aware of MMORE and thank you for showing us how grassroots organizations can become leaders in the community!
Stupid Cancer! You will be beaten!
