Wish I could be in it, but I’m nine years out from cancer now and don’t live in the LA area. But if I did, I’d be right there. Thanks for alerting your readers to this great opportunity. xox
I wish I could, too!! They aren’t taking Stage IV patients…but this one has been floating around too long! We need to fill it!
