      On October 9th, The Skin Cancer Foundation awarded their 2012 Skin Sense Award to the PGA Tour, Lucy Danziger, Editor-in-Chief of SELF Magazine, and Genentech with Genentech being honored for their drugs Erivedge and Zelboraf.  The Genentech award was presented by a patient currently using Erivedge and one using Zelboraf.  The honor of being the Zelboraf patient fell to me.  It was quite an honor.

                      That IS wonderful. Imagine back in January of 2010 what anyone would have thought the likelihood would have been for you to be here in October of 2012 for such an honor!  Makes me smile as I write this to think of the position you were in then compared with the life you live now. What a great blessing!
