Brain Tumor Awareness month: Lanette Veres from Gray Matters Foundation talked to Nicole about her battle with a brain tumor and also that May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. (5/18/2012)
Link goes to a video from this week; Lanette heads the local brain tumor/cancer support group here in AZ. Gray Matters is the non-profit www.thinkgeek.com donated to back in January. They rock with support, love, and care.
I know some of you came to my blog because you or someone you love and care about is also fighting a disease like this. Lanette is someone you should also know.
She's a hero to me.

Thank you for the link to the National Brain Tumor Society. My Dad had metastatic melanoma to the brain, and I'd been looking for links like that.
