This project is special to me, as I lost a beloved friend to cancer. As a child, she beat Hodgkin's, suffered through life-altering side effects of chemo and multiple surgeries, and later in life developed breast cancer. My friend, Teresa Schulte McCartney, succumbed to surgery complications and died in September 2007. Although we had grown apart since we were kids, not seeing each other often as we got older and focused on our families, she had a profound impact on me as I was growing up. Many of my best childhood memories were spent at her side. There's a huge Teresa shaped hole in my life, and some days I will see or do something that makes me stop and wish she were here sharing her smile and hugs.
To all of you that knows someone struggling with this horrible disease, or someone that lost the fight, or someone that beat the bitch with a 2x4 and is in remission. My thoughts are with you.
