She declined to accept the money, however. Her smile spoke volumes as she said, "I'm gonna wear that sweater a lot!!!"

About Me
- Karen
- I am a seven-year breast cancer survivor, diagnosed at age 43, with a Stage 1, Grade 3 tumor that I noticed under my left armpit while showering. I initially thought it was nothing. But I was wrong. And it was aggressive. My cancer diagnosis came as a complete shock to me, my family and friends. After all, an avid runner with no risk factors who's only 43 shouldn't get breast cancer, right? My life changed forever on February 20, 2006, and although I've had my share of trials throughout this time, I can honestly say that God has walked by my side every step of the way. I am married to Brian and we have three wonderful children, Patrick, age 23, Melissa, age 17 and Caroline, age 14. I'd love to chat and hear all about your story! Feel free to comment on my blog! May God bless you!

A good lesson in "just try it!"
Made me smile.
So glad to know it ended up being a positive experience!!
I thought I commented here. It really is a good lesson. Kids are really quite resistant to anything which might make them look 'uncool'. Sometimes they really hesitate to try anything new, and that is a shame. Adolescence is a time to discover yourself and your place in the world, not to be hemmed in by the expectations of other adolescents.
