Pastel at Stand Up 2 Cancer
from: Fans of David
11 September 2010

As many of you now know, I had the pleasure and honour of attending the Stand Up 2 Cancer performance at the Sony Studios in LA yesterday, representing ALL OF YOU in the Crush Kids’ Cancer David Archuleta Angels Team. It was an exciting but very emotional experience. Having lost my heroic husband Lawrence last year at the age of 51 to colon cancer, the day took on an entirely different meaning for me than an encounter with David Archuleta and his team, although that was an awesome and generous experience as well. The significance of Standing Up yesterday, after a cross country trip for me and my daughter, was even more poignant. It was truly an honour to be there.
