Inspiration

Blah...Winter! It is cold, cold, cold here in New England and it is catching up with me. I was "under the weather' all weak and was just too worn down from being sick to blog! But I am feeling better now.

Today's post is less about my photography, more about something I just wanted to share with everyone as a sign of inspiration and hope.

During my last engagement session, I noticed that Kate, the bride to be, had the most beautiful bracelet on. When I asked her about it, she explained that it is part of this wonderful, local organization that was created in honor of a woman named Mel, whom during her 5 year battle against breast cancer, gave away these exact same bracelets to friends, fellow patients, nurses and doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital. After her passing, the organization, Friends of Mel Foundation, was formed to raise cancer awareness in such a unique, and wonderful way - through these bracelets. By making a donation to the organization (which funds cancer research at Massachusetts General Hospital), they in return send you one of Mel's bracelets.

If you want to learn more about the organization or even donate (hey a pretty bracelet comes with it!), you can click on the link above.

Cheers!
