    Bless you, Barbara and thank you too!! Your thoughtfulness in taking on this enormous task is so greatly appreciated. One day this cancer will be a thing of the past thanks to amazing people such as yourself. It sounds as if it was an amazing time.

    The 2nd Annual Memorial Benefit was a great success. The event was held at Sizzle Bistro In Manchester, NH. We had over 65 items, which were all donated for the Silent Auction, there was a 50/50 raffle – and my sister (who owns the restaurant donated 10 bottles of wine, which we sold wine corks for $5/each and at the end of the night 10 lucky winners got to pick a bottle of wine.
    It was an emotional night of sharing stories – great food – music – and a night to raise awareness and money. $8,200. total was raised for The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation – WOW!!!!! As I reflect on the generosity and kindness everyone has shown for Jacques and Becki – it was a very emotional night. Rob (who helped with this years benefit in honor of his mother, Becki Mignogna, who lost her battle with CC on January 17th, 2013 – which ironically is my Jacques’ birthday – was not able to attend the Benefit as his first child – a son, Ryan was born at 4:30 PM, the day of the benefit.
    Another member of the CC family Suzanne Murch aka Oceangirl, and her family came up from Bolton, MA. She is a sweetheart – I just wish I had more to talk with them that night – but I was busy with all of the logistics – I did not have much time to socialize.
    As I said the night of the benefit – it is because of my amazing family and friends, that I make it through this so called life – for this I am truly blessed. I have already started making to-do lists and plans for next year’s 3rd Annual Benefit. CANCER – I am out to get you – Watch out!!!!!
