Jen, Deana, and all...
I think this is a wonderful idea. I'm new to this site since i was just recently diagnosed and going to undergo my first lap on March 7th. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help make this idea a reality. My email address is molu00@hotmail.com. Hope all is well!!
