Saturday evening, we headed back up to San Francisco. We met Grace’s high-school friend, Liz, and her husband, Steve, for dinner. We hadn’t seen them since the wedding, so it was great to catch up. Congratulations to Steve, who is switching to a new architecture firm in a week. Afterwards, we walked over to Voda, where our good friend, Natalie, was celebrating a very wonderful milestone. I remember vividly receiving the news from Natalie last September that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her journey since then has been poignantly documented on her blog. Her party on Saturday was not only to celebrate the end of her cancer treatment, but to also raise money for her first new journey as a breast cancer survivor. Natalie is traveling to Sri Lanka in December to build homes for tsunami victims with a group of young BC survivors from throughout the world. You can read more about Natalie’s involvement here. She’ll be covering her own travel expenses, but needs to raise $5000 towards building supplies. If you are interested, you can click the link at the bottom of her page to donate. Natalie is truly an inspiration to us and we are so thankful for her recovery.
