On the topic of breast cancer and awareness, I invite you to check out this video — ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/6789 — about one very special woman’s “aha moment” that led her to walk around the world for the cause. Literally. It’s a wonderful story, and it’s about a lot more than breast cancer. I know you’ll find it extremely inspiring.
All the best,
