Waterfire

I attended the Waterfire event in Providence Saturday evening which highlighted the work of the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation (http://www.gloriagemma.org/). My wife Vicky, a breast cancer survivor, participated in the torch walk from the courthouse steps down to Waterfire Basin.

This was truly a moving experience with thousands of people applauding and cheering as the survivors marched along the brick-pave pathways. My wife has been supporting the Gloria Gemma organization for a while now and now I can see why. Over the last few years they have made a significant impact on the community by raising awareness about breast cancer and by raising funds to support research. In addition, they provide direct support for survivors of this horrible disease.
