This year, I am dedicating my fundraising campaign in memory of Sherri Houghton. Sherri and my sister, Jeanne, worked together for years at Park Street Middle School and were close friends. Throughout Jeanne's fight, Sherri (and her husband, Tim) were there to do anything they could. Sherri took lesson plans and school things back and forth and would occasionally show up with Graeter's ice cream. She stayed in touch with Jeanne by phone and email when she couldn't visit and was a dear, dear friend.
Sherri had her own battles with Metastatic Breast Cancer, but I never heard her complain and her beautiful smile was always there. Sadly, Sherri passed away last September.
Komen has provided more than a BILLION dollars for breast cancer research; some of it right here at the James Cancer Center. They help pay for mammograms for uninsured and underinsured women and men. Komen also provides educational information which is helpful as patients are trying to navigate their path.
Please consider donating in memory of Sherri and also Jeanne. I picture them smiling together once again.
