My mom died of breast cancer when I was 12 years old. She was sick for a long time and Gilda's Club was a second home. My brother played in Noogie Land while my sister and I went to the teen group. I didn't really think much of it, but now that I am a little older, I realize what an impact it has had on my life. I realize what an amazing places it is and how very necessary it is for families.
