Team Alessandra....Making Strides 2009


Dear Alessandra,


As you and your family mourn the loss of Uncle Peter, I wanted to pass along this photo in the hope that it will make you smile. In Boston this morning was the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Team Alessandra completed the 5.5 mile walk with flying colors, having raised over $1450.00 for the American Cancer Society.


As we looked around the Esplanade this morning, there were many women, families, school groups, college students and others all walking in support of women and families affected by breast cancer. There were also many women walking with bright pink sashes around them that read "survivor." As we walked the two hour loop, many were talking about how they knew you, sharing stories and speaking about your incredible strength and determination. It has been challenging to show you tangible support from afar, but we walked today in love and support of you and the many women who share your battle.


Lots of love. XOXO,

Karen
