My wife Ellen was diagnosed with breast cancer last week for the second time in her life. The last chemotherapy was February 1999. She will require 3 surgeries and 8 - 12 months of recovery time. I am blessed to have a great job and good benefits, but with co-pays and downtime for her this will create un-needed financial stress. I am planning a benefit April 8th ( save the date ) at the new Red House Art Center in downtown Syracuse with lots of live entertainment from 1:00 - 5:00, but for those who can't attend,I've created this page. Thanks for your consideration.
