December 31, 2006

Welcome!

This is the beginning. It is December 31, 2006, and I've finally figured out what I want to do with my life!

It starts with this blog, and my New Year's resolution: To successfully start a foundation in my sister-in-law's name assisting families who are dealing with cancer.

I have many areas I'd like to touch on, and much research to do to get where I want to be, and I plan to keep you updated as I move through the process. I'll also inform you of my story. We all have a story, and I hope that this site will end up with many stories.
