Joe and Christine,

It is we who should be thanking you! I doubt you will every truly know how much this site has meant to each of us.

Christine,

Sitting on my desk, in front of my computer monitor is the Precious Moments breast cancer figurine that you sent to me shortly after I joined the site. Each day it is a source of comfort and strength, reminding me "Life is worth the fight."

Thank you both for your "fight" for all who have been touched by HER2 breast cancer, not only those diagnosed, but our families and friends as well.
