Fight to Win


Katie laughing - age 5

Today I saw a public service announcement for awareness of Hodgkin's disease. It was made in memory of a young lady named Alese Coco, who fought the battle but succumbed two years ago.

The first time I saw the PSA, I was horrified - it seemed like the advertisers were using the "shock value" to get the message across. After watching several times, I finally reached an understanding that sometimes people have to be stunned into action and awareness.

Whatever works to raise money to save lives. Like the smiling, laughing happy girl above who battled a different cancer.

If you have a box of Kleenex handy, watch this PSA for fight2win.org.
