Words of Wisdom From a Breast Cancer Survivor
 
"I've learned to live life to the fullest every day. I've learned to help other people, because I know what it's like to need help. 


I think the main thing cancer has taught me is to be bold and to go for it, because there's no guarantees for tomorrow."


- Chiara, blogger, model and cancer survivor

Thank You Ices for Andrea!


Joann Centrone and Diana Gerhardt, along with their family and friends, raised over $10,400 at their 10th Annual Ices for Andrea fundraiser in memory of their mother, Andrea Caggiano. 


To celebrate Andrea's birthday, the family sells Italian ices each July. What started as a small way for Andrea's grandsons to remember their beloved Mamar has grown into a community event that has raised more than $55,000 over the past 10 years!
