     December 2013 Newsletter 
 

This season, we wish you a holiday that is full

Of magic, happiness, and good cheer.

For this is the time to reflect on the things

that bring us a smile now and into the year.

 

Perhaps you have seen people helping others

With a gift, or a smile, or helping hands.

It's not always easy to find time to be giving,

With the all that this busy season demands.

 

"Angels" have appeared in many different forms

In our office, at events, and in our midst.

There are so many, we can't even begin

To thank all of you on our "nice" list

 

We've seen angels at meetings, in emails,

and on our Facebook pages or posts.

A gift of encouragement, an inspirational message,

Or a hug that is needed the most.

 

We've seen you at events, helping to promote

The message we all want to share

The mission of support, of love, and of hope

To women and families everywhere.

 

Volunteers give their time, talents, and gifts

Without you, we would be lost.

Some open their homes and open their hearts

Every time, no matter the cost.

 

Some angels have appeared as a host of givers

Who vow to match every December dollar we receive

And donors who've hosted events of their own

Donations we definitely need.

 

Our sponsors are angels, they keep us 'alive'

For each one we are truly blessed.

When others said no, you answered the call

With a loud and resounding "Yes!"

 

There are angels who help other ladies in need

Through surgery, through treatment, and more

Ones who say "You are not alone,

I'm here, I've been there before."

 

So thank you angels, from the depths of our hearts

With your help, we will continue to grow.

We'll keep up the fight until there's a cure.

Your angelic gifts mean more than you know.

 

 

Happy Holidays to our Beyond Boobs! family and angels

Sandy
42, diagnosed at 38, immediate family history
 
Teacher's assistant, wife, and mother of twins, Sandy was referred for diagnostic testing when a routine mammogram found a spot in her breast. Learning she had two different types of cancer in one breast, and being a third generation survivor, Sandy opted for a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction followed by chemotherapy. Because of the prevalence of breast cancer in her family, Sandy's family was enrolled in a genetic mutations study. Read more
