This week was wonderful time in Washington DC. Reunited with some wonderful friends, made new ones, shared many many hugs, and yes shed a few tears for those we've lost (though dancing to Belle's favorite song "Red Solo Cup" did bring a few smiles). As always it was a wonderful experience that I cherish each year and wish it happened more than once a year.
I know many cannot make it to DC, but you can still advocate for CRC issues. Please email and/or tweet your representatives today to add to the voices of the 100+ that did make it to DC. It takes less than five minutes! (Feel free to share links with all your friends too!)
