Why I support Writers Unite to Fight Cancer
I’ve treated numerous patients with cancer. As a home health nurse I developed close relationships with those I cared for – they became as dear as family to me. Occasionally I’ve been privileged to celebrate with them as they reached remission. More often than I care to remember I’ve mourned with their survivors at their funerals. The hardest ones are always the children.
Currently I have a cousin (in-law who I consider to be my dearest friend) who is suffering from Ovarian Cancer and is now being treated with yet another kind of chemotherapy. I have an aunt and an uncle who are cancer survivors. I’ve lost one uncle to kidney cancer. So yes, my life has been greatly influenced by cancer.

Fighting Cancer
A group of writers has joined forces to help win this battle.
They call themselves: Writers Unite to Fight Cancer.
One of them, Lisa Finder, founded a non-profit organization called White Lions Foundation.
All of them have been touched by cancer in one way or another.
The author of Save the Child, Margaret L. Turley RN, blogged about her reason she joined the group.
I've joined their facebook group. Will you?
