"I am sending a note to say 'Thank you' for the $1500 grant given to my husband and myself. Although 'Thank You' is hardly enough to express the gratitude we feel. We could not carry the financial burden of this cancer diagnosis on our own.
The grant went a long way to meeting our insurance deductible...the support of the Beyond Pink TEAM went a long way in making this possible."
