Celebrating Shelly Miller

This month is also Women's History Month, which celebrates all women for their contributions to history and society.

I celebrate Shelly Miller, an American Cancer Society Voice of Hope and a 29-year cancer survivor.  She has been on the American Cancer Society Relay For Life Cancer National Volunteer team for several years now and has been on several Event Leadership Teams throughout the years. Five years ago, I joined the local Las Vegas Event Leadership team, and she mentored me on what was expected for logistics as I had never worked any of the events beyond being a participant even thought she had a another function within the team.  Through her tutelage, I have been fortunate to have co-chaired the event with her(I really was her assistant, smile) 

Every time I hear her speak at one of our events, I get a little misty(I am sure it was allergies) because she speaks with so much passion and heart.  Below are two pictures of her after leaving the hospital and at Last year's Relay.
