The Gloria Gemma Foundation has been in my life for over 10 years.  My mother, Patti, participated in Illuminations of Life while battling metastatic breast cancer, and was passionate about helping others who shared in a similar fight.  As her daughter, I feel intent upon keeping her mission alive and honoring her life.

I keep in fond memory my mother, my Aunt Karen, and my Uncle Larry, who all courageously fought cancer.  I walk in support of current cancer survivors as well including my Aunt Debbie, Auntie Chris, Sheila Amontea, and countless others who have touched my life.
