I have always wanted to volunteer for the breast cancer cause. As we all know, this disease has always been part of my life and I've always felt like I should help out in some way. So I FINALLY reached out to the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Group. I wanted to do this before my diagnosis, but never did, so I finally got the push I needed.
I met with a really nice woman named Caroline. We talked a bit about what I've been through, and then we talked about how I want to help. I told her the hotline is probably not the right thing for me to be doing at this moment since I am going through my own issues, but I'd like to help out in any other way possible.
She told me they have a fundraiser coming up where all proceeds go to the Adelphi Breast Cancer support program. I told her I'd love to get the word out, and so I shall! The fundraiser just so happens to fall on my birthday so that will be fun for me. I'll be laughing and having a good time, all to support the Adelphi breast cancer program. That sounds like a good birthday to me!
Tell 'em Jessi sent ya!
