All the models were breast cancer suriviors in all different stages of survivorship. Some just finished treatment while others were celebrating being 10 years cancer-free. They were all great women and I really enjoyed meeting all of them and sharing our stories. Heather Unruh, the channel 5 news anchor, said some really nice things about me while she was emceeing the event. I coach her two little kids on the swim team so I have gotten to know her and her family. I was very touched that she acknowledged my story personally in front of the entire crowd of 200+ people.
Jeff went with me to cheer me on. Unfortunately he had to be there by himself as I was kept backstage for the evening. But you all know Jeff! He can talk to anybody...even a group of older women who are into these things. Well, he ended up sitting next to Sara Campbell's best friends and owners of a popular South End restaurant, Rocca. He basically charmed them beyond belief and now we have been invited to their restaurant for dinner on them and a front row parking space! So fun!!! Thanks Jeff!
The fashion designer, Sara Campbell, has invited all of us to her store for a celebration cocktail party in a couple of weeks. That sounds like it will be fun! Hope I get invited back next year!
