Remembering Elizabeth Wilson (a/k/a Libby Joan)
On August 31, 2023 in the afternoon, Elizabeth Joan Wilson (also known as Libby Joan online) took her last breaths on this earth. She was 39 and her life had barely begun.

Evaluating Fundraising Opportunities
Pinktober is coming! This is the somewhat sarcastic, definite tongue-in-cheek, and trigger worthy term that many of us use for the fundraising efforts in October for breast cancer.

On Limitations in an Ableist Society
Most of the time, I can pass for healthy. If I don't open my mouth to talk about how I have had Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) since 2017, most people have no idea. Yet, when I travel to conferences or classes like Project LEAD recently, my various limitations arising from the cancer, surgeries … Continue reading On Limitations in an Ableist Society
