I am conquering one of my big fears...public speaking. The director of the Ellie Fund (the fund that helped me last year while going through treatment with housecleaning, meals, etc.) has asked me to speak at the Kelley for Ellie Fashion Show next Thursday night in Boston. It is the show named for Kelley Tuthill - the channel 5 reporter who went through breast cancer treatment last year about the same time I did. All proceeds from the event go the The Ellie Fund. The director has a slot for a survivor to speak (for about 2 minutes) about going through treatment and how the Ellie Fund made life easier. I am very nervous but it will be a great opportunity for me!
The Ellie Fund has also asked me to be in a video for their website and one they can run at events. That is in April.
I'll plug the Fund again....go to http://www.elliefund.org/ to see upcoming events. They have a cool mother's day event coming up. If you donate $25, they send someone of your choice a mother's day card and you get tickets to the Neimen Marcus Champagne Shopping Brunch in Natick for free!
