Komen's Power of the Promise 2019

On April 11, 2019, I attended Komen's Power of the Promise benefit, and was honored to be a guest of Dr. Amit Tiwari at his table of University of Toledo's Triple Negative Breast Cancer researchers. 
Dr. Amit Tiwari and his research team were recognized for their Komen funded research on overcoming drug resistance in Triple Negative Breast Cancer.  The support of each table of attendees stood up arounds us, clapping their hands got me a little teary-eyed... brought me much hope that is so needed in our breast cancer community.
