Janet's Walk: Breast Cancer Diagnosis Inspires Eco-Action

I don't think I've ever directly asked TH readers to financially support a project, so, this is a first. Many of us would respond to a breast cancer diagnosis by retreating into the safe and familiar. Janet Dreifus has decided to use her time here to tour the country, picking up trash, and spreading the word about alternative energy, local food, and the relationship between environmental toxins and cancer. After a treatment on Monday, she will leave Denver for Missouri, where on April 8 she will appear at Columbia, Missouri’s 10th Anniversary Clean Up Columbia event. We'll track her progress in the Midwest, and follow her when she hits Seattle in June for a West Coast tour. Check out the programs she offers and see if any of them fit in with your local event. Janet is accessible, irrepressible, and, yes, completely inspiring. Please support her if you can. :: Janet's Walk

Wow....just reading this incredible journey that Janet is about to partake on is so inspiring! I, too am finishing my first week of chemo for Lymphotic Cancer on Tuesday. Would love to meet up with Janet on her path...any idea where she is heading? Possibly Texas...I am in Houston...would travel to say "hello" and share a hug and a TREE! ;)

May we all face such personal challenges with such courage. Janet, thank you for all you're doing, and may many lives be touched by the good you do.

I hope that people you meet on your way will have the right attitude and be concerned about the environment.

My brain has the fog from chemo. It is very frustrating and embarrassing at times. It is a real experience and it is not the worst side effect just inconvenient in losing things and break in thought process. WBR LeoP
