Dear Sherri; Thanks for the info. I saw this subject talked about by all 3 network chiefs – Katie, Brian and the 3rd guy (forgot his name). Quite exciting so I will be watching like you. Hopefully others will too. It’s great to hear of these things so that we can watch and learn.

I want to thank all of those that have viewed the Message on the Stand up to Cancer TV Special
and told others about this Special, we can spread the word that “We need to take care of each other”

Just a note as you know there are only 1,000 + members here on our family site. We have had over 4,000 people reading the post. In doing so we are reaching out to others that may need our help and some that can give us support.

Again thanks for being here.
