Tee, You are 100% correct!!! I have been leaving msgs with my mayor’s secretary for over a week and I think it’s time for an “in home” visit! haha!!
Nancy, did Robin get some sort of proclaimation signed in TX that could possibly help, not in Houston, but for other municipalities? If so, that would be awesome if there were something already in place that Tee could just refer too. I’m sure if you could give her that information, it would make things easier to get things done all over TX!!

Not sure what your trying to say Nancy, if you have information that would be useful for the State Of Texas, could you please email me in private-all I know is that my mayor was made aware by a simple email-sometimes things get lost in the cracks-but it’s about moving forward, which brings me to this thought-I would not have been able to do it own my own without the help of MBCN and Metavivor. I advocate doing things on your own but when you come across a wall you cannot climb alone, please look to your organizations for help!!!! You don’t have to give up, you just have to get help!!!

Actually, Robin in Texas who passed away over a year ago, was so excited to have gotten to proclamations in her home state and one was in Houston. Just sayin…

Just wanted to reiterate that all of the advocacy for funding is one slide in the right direction but there is also a great need to get awareness out there and that is why I am going to my city hall and videoing the message of the National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day-this resolution has been out since 2009, yet Komen didn’t even recognize it because when they came in requesting city hall to light up the building PINK, they requested the first 2 weeks of Pinktober, INCLUDING Oct 13th!!! Well they cannot have this day! This one day is for you and for me!!! Please click on this link and print out the resolution to share with your communities and paste the link onto your emails and social web pages. We have to get the word out-it’s only been since 2009 that this resolution has been in place-isn’t it about time we start advocating it??? MBCN and their constituents worked hard on getting this passed for us, please get the word out in your communities on this day, OUR DAY-OCTOBER 13th!!!

Way to go Tee!!! Like I told you… You are a human dynamo!! You are doing such an amazing job advocating for Stage IV . The public needs educated and sometimes that education needs to come directly from the source. You are a wonderful example of this. Thanks to Houston for being so responsive, as well. I would only hope that other municipalities are as open to learn more about Stage IV and will recognize our day of October 13th.
