“Especially For You” invites Portraits & Stories
Posted by: | Comments
I was a presenter Tuesday, August 24, 2010 for the “Especially for You” After Breast Cancer Support Group’s monthly meeting at the Women’s Center at Mercy Hospital. I was asked to share about the inspirational cancer survivor photo essay project I do called Portraits & Stories.
www.PortraitsAndStories.com was created to inspire, encourage, and support cancer survivors, their families, and their friends through portraits that I create to tell a story about a survivor. The participants also are encouraged to write blog posts to share their experiences with others.
It went rather well for a shy person who does not relish the lime light and public speaking. I didn’t faint or anything! KCRG (a local television station) was also there working on a segment to air in September.
