DPWC members and others are dedicating donations to Susan G. Komen's research fund in honor of beloved DPWC member Leann Rodowicz who was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer research. Leann bravely and pragmatically discussed her diagnosis with the assembled crowd, emphasizing her desire to advocate for others and her commitment to embrace life, joy and a fast return to her typical energetic health. DPWC is matching donations up to $3,000 and expects to donate $6,000 or more to metastatic cancer research by the time its First Vice President Judy Amiano embarks on the upcoming 3-day, 60-mile Susan G. Komen "More than Pink" walk in Leann's honor.

DPWC is leaving the drive open until the walk takes place on November 1-3 in San Diego. Click HERE to make a tax-deductible donation, noting "Walk for Leann" in the field for donation purpose.
