Hello everyone. About three years ago or so...a very good friend of mine found out that she had Breast Cancer. She was diagnosed and was told that it was a rare form of cancer that hardly ever effects women. After many months of treatment and surgery, she was told that she was in Remission, and she felt better than she had in a long time. However about two months ago, she started having some trouble and after much testing , she was told that the Cancer had come back and it is in her bones now. She is now having to undergo chemo. and she is very sick and unable to work anylonger. Today we are doing a benifit for her at my place of work, just a bake sale and car wash, to hep raise funds for her so that she may continue with the process of treatments that is very costly. From everything i understand about bone cancer, her actual chance of beating this disease is like about 15%.. So anyone that has had this strike their family knows what i am talking about.
Please offer her all your support and prayers, and if anyone would be intrested in in donating anything to her to help out., Send me a private message and i will give you details on doing so.
Thanks for all your support in advance.
My friends name is Carol. Keep the prayers coming for her.

She is in my families prayers, Prayer is a powerful thing and I pray all the time. I hope she gets through it. I have lost a lot of family due to cancer of some sort .

You must be going through a tough time I hope modeling helps you go somewhere peaceful. Because pain and sadness will eat you alive and make people something they hate being.

Modeling gets me through alot of lonely days and not think about the world and all of it's evil. I hope it does the same for you.

I HOPE SEE GETS BETTER SOON.

Happy Modeling
