“I am a breast cancer awareness advocate, having lost my aunt to breast cancer. I became involved with the Ellie Fund because I wanted to support a smaller organization that could directly benefit Massachusetts families. The Ellie Fund is unique in that any monies donated are used right away to help breast cancer patients and their families with transportation, food, housecleaning and other expenses. Having my own business doesn’t leave me with extra time to volunteer, but I certainly have the resources and I’m glad to help out.”
