“Unfortunately it seems that almost every person’s life has been touched by cancer in some way. Because of that, everyone could appreciate and support the cause. They were all more than happy to donate rather than buy us gifts,” said Molly, who hosted a lemonade stand at her June engagement party.
“We all need to remind ourselves every day that there are more important things in the world than a pretty white dress, big cake, and the right angles for a perfect wedding portrait. We came together for love in more ways than one that day,” said Jackie, who supported ALSF at her bridal shower.
