Last December I was diagnosed with ACC, adrenal cancer, an orphan, very aggressive, 1 in a million, cancer! Be grateful everyday! And smile.
We would like to thank you for supporting Michelle Benincasa in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love being a Grandma. I have 5 grandchildren, 2 more expected by end of year. Grandchildren are a true blessing and such a reminder of when yours were little. Also that unneeded stress on yourself, it ends with age!
How do you stay fabulous?Spending time with family, friends and serving in my church family. I feel at this age, giving back to others and children fill my cup. No one is promised tomorrow, and cancer really makes that true, so you love more deeply and feel so much more gratitude daily.
What would you do with the $40,000?Honestly, take a family vacation, then donate to ACC Adrenal-cortical Carcinoma, as an orphan cancer, most people are diagnosed in late stages, and need help getting to the five ACC Specialists in America. Being able to help others would be a dream come true, in this difficult disease.
