I served as a board member for Seymour Pink for six years. Seymour Pink is a non profit organization that helps fund medical and other expenses for breast cancer patients and their families. My fund raising efforts and affiliation with this organization allowed me to work closely with women who were challenged with this disease and help them rediscover themselves through their healing process. After the treatment and medical healing many women struggle with questions such as "Who am I now?", "How can I be sexual?", "How do I remain healthy?", "How do I begin dating again?", "How do I relate to my spouse and family?".  My work helps survivors find answers to these questions and acclimate themselves back into life.
