I work in the Biotechnology sector, and I regulalry interact with scientists who are striving to find cures for so many different diseases. These are some of the most brilliant people in the world!! Research can be an extremely demanding field, so many failures before some breakthrough might occur. The dedication and resilience, the personal sacrifice cannot be underestimated, and Research is expensive......very expensive!! Walking in and out of the labs I see people who have dedicated their lives to finding cures.......and at Dana Farber you see the children and their families who are struggling to understand their situation....you cannot help but to be moved to tears.

My sister lost her husband to cancer 19 years ago, leaving her to raise three beautiful daughters and a brand new baby boy......now two of my nieces have babies of their own.......life goes on, and many of us take things for granted, including our health.

I know that everybody out there has causes of their own......but I am unabashedly asking for donations for this cause. No doation is too small.......!!

Thanks to everybody in advance....

Go raibh maith agat!!
