Ooooh October........ How do I miss thee? What a busy and exciting month it was for us. October was the month that Breast Cancer Awareness ruled during the month. The focus was present and you could not miss on the enthusiasm of pinktober.

On the first day of October, the kick off to promote the documentary of The Day That Changed My Life began. The response was great as we reached out to social network sites, and the media. We were on Good Morning Westchester, the local channel television Community Events and shared with the local newspapers. It was a big deal :-)
We looked forward to sharing the journey of those who have been touched by cancer and what incredible journeys they were.

October 22, 2014 The Day That Changed My Life - Documentary was shown at the Showcase Cinema De Lux theater. It was the perfect day for the Nor'easter Storm. As we were getting closer to show time, the rain intensified. The question to God was 'why would you do this?' However, he showed us that the rain was there to prove that our message was important enough for people to actually brave the weather conditions.

After the documentary, we had a reception where we were able to meet and greet. The audience was a mix of people who came in from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, as well as those from Westchester, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island. There were cancer survivors as well as those who were currently going through treatment. We had people coming up and saying Thank You for bringing this to the theater.


Guess what? This is only the beginning there's more to come from this documentary.......
While each journey is unique, we all share a common theme - cancer changes our lives forever.

The Day That Changed My Life - A Daughters Love

Father's day was just two weeks ago and we continue to celebrate the wonderful men who have raised us daily. We have found an incredible journey of a daughter who recently lost her father to stomach cancer. Jinna Yang had the love and support of her father Jay Kwon Yang who raised her mostly as a single parent. In paying tribute to her father who gave her the best life possible, Jinna took a trip to places that her father would have loved to visit. Get your box of tissues, this may cause some tears to flow.

The Day That Changed My Life - Debbie Will Not Stomach This Cancer

Stomach cancer is not one of the most talked about cancers. However, according to the National Cancer Institute, there were 21,600 cases in 2013 and an estimated 10,990 deaths. Here's another incredible journey that we just had to share - Debbie Zelman was diagnosed at 40 years old and took charge of her diagnosis by participating in a trial which while she is responding well to the therapy, it is not the cure for her cancer. Being an amazing leader, Debbie founded the Debbie's Dream Foundation to bring awareness to this incurable form of cancer and she has taken her cause straight up to Capitol Hill to advocate for research funding.

The Day That Changed My Life - How I Found Out.... Part II

To be diagnosed with an aggressive stomach cancer at Stage 4 or to learn that you have a rare form of cancer known as leiomyomas sarcoma has to be overwhelming. Although being diagnosed with breast cancer is still a personally overwhelming shocking life altering experience, there is an incredible fear of the unknown outcomes of rare diagnoses.

However, we have found these journeys of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance that may bring some hope to others who are facing a rare form of cancer.

Now be a pal and share this with others, we never know who may need to hear these journeys. It may be just the thing to inspire and bring hope to their lives and you would be a part of it ;-)
