A Tribute to Dorit Shapiro

Dorit Shapiro, wife, mother of two and president of the Gal to Gal Foundation, lost her brave battle to breast cancer yesterday. She was 38 years old.

It was Dorit's hope to spread the word about the Gal to Gal Foundation and their mission to help grant wishes and provide informational resources to patients and families struggling with this deadly disease. Even in her final days, Dorit worked tirelessly to get the message out about the importance of lending support to the brave men and women who are currently living with stage IV breast cancer. If you'd like to honor Dorit's memory, please lend your support by joining the Gal to Gal Virtual Walk today.

"My goal is to honor the memories of all the women who have lost their battle to this tough enemy and that women and families battling stage IV breast cancer are never forgotten and receive the support they need and deserve. I hope you'll join me in supporting this wonderful organization until there comes a day where we are not needed because we have found a cure and no one must face living with this diagnosis."
--Dorit Shapiro, 1970-2008

Our Latest Event...the Gal to Gal Virtual Walk NYC Launch Party!

We recently held the kickoff event for the 2nd Anuual Gal to Gal Virtual Walk at the showroom of eco-designer Robin Wilson. The event, which was hosted by Design her Gals and Role Mommy (that would be me), was emceed by Tamsen Fadal, the lifestyle reporter for the CW11 morning news whose mother developed breast cancer when Tamsen was 14. Her mother fought her illness for six more years until she lost her battle when Tamsen was 20 years old.

Additionally, stars from the hit daytime drama "Guiding Light" stopped by to honor wife and mother, Dorit Shapiro, who is the president of the Gal to Gal Foundation and is currently battling stage IV breast cancer. After watching the video below, you'll see why there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Hope if you have time this week, you'll log onto www.galtogalwalk.org and create your virtual gal or guy. It takes 5 minutes, costs $5 and will make a difference in the lives of patients and families battling stage IV breast cancer.
