On September 6, 2009, my mother, Clara, lost her battle with brain cancer.  This is the last picture of her and I together.  I miss her so very much - there is so much I want to tell her about my life - I still need her.  But, cancer has stolen her away, far to soon.  My mother's battle was my first real experience with cancer.  Since her death, I have lost my Father-in-Law to lung cancer, my Mother-in-Law to pancreatic cancer, two of my girlfriends have battled breast cancer, a 3 year old from our church is battling Wilm's Disease, and a good friend is fighting is in the fight of his life as I write this.  When will it end?  Will there ever be a cure?  It has taken me a year to get the Clara's Rose site off the ground, but my committment to doing what I can to find a cure is resolute.  Whether you buy anything from Clara's Rose, or visit the Useful Links and donate to the charity of your choice - we are all in this fight together.
