PLEASE WATCH

Hey you guys!  Do you have 20 minutes?  If so, you NEED to watch this.  If not, you need to find a time when you do and WATCH THIS.  Bottom line, this needs to get watched by you {and everyone you know}.

A little background before you watch:

This is a video about finding a cure for cancer.  It was made by Gloria Borges, a girl I went to high school with.  She was a few years older than me, but when your high school only has about 100 girls a class, you sort of get to know everyone.  And trust me, everyone knew Gloria.  She just has that spunk.  That sparkle.  That addicting positive spirit.  She was brilliantly smart, funny, involved in just about everything {sports, being our school vice president, endless clubs, just to name a few}, she just had it all going for her.  Someone you remember.  I have been keeping up with her story through our high school alumni magazines, and then found her blog/foundation online. Today, her foundation came out with this new project, highlighted in this video.  Here is her story:





My Grandpa has been a colon cancer survivor {warrior!} for 30+ years, even with a similar grim outlook as Gloria's.  Christopher's Grandpa died of colon cancer.  It affects both of our families, and maybe even some of yours.  If not colon cancer, cancer in general affects everyone.  We need to find a cure!

And who knows, when we find a cure for cancer, maybe we can even find a cure for other diseases.  Please pass this on, and share with everyone you know!

God Bless!
