Many of you know Heather from photographing my girls’ births. Today I want to talk about how amazing this girl is! For a women who works two jobs, is a mother of a VERY active little girl, and is a newlywed, she still manages to set aside the time to accomplish incredible things for others. Things that matter. She is on her way to finishing her 4th Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. And it isn’t just a mile walk I’m talking about! It’s a marathon!!
In the past I have donated not only to help her reach her goal, but to be a part in saving lives. But it wasn’t until recently that I realized just how real Breast Cancer is. Last November we lost our good friend Carrie Naas to the terrible disease. She was the most incredible woman. If I could name the most vivacious, thoughtful and happy person I know, it was her. Sadly, she left her 5 and 9 year old children behind. When I think about my girls having to grow up without me in their lives, it makes me teary-eyed.
I know the majority of my readers are mothers or mothers-to-be. To all of you lovely ladies, please take a minute out of your day to be a part of helping save the lives of others, just like you and just like Carrie.
Here is a note from Heather………
