Keep a Journal of Your Experience with Cancer
14. The LBHN also has the help of Kara Kovach, a Girl Scout working toward her Gold Award, the highest scouting award for girls. Kara is giving out journals to all those who want to share their experience with cancer. The teenager said she hopes that women with cancer, or who've had the disease, will be comforted by documenting their stories, which will be a mix of trials, tribulations and victories. Once she has collected the journals, Kara hopes to publish a book of inspiring stories about women who have faced, fought, lived with and, most importantly, beaten cancer in Loudoun County. Those who wish to may remain anonymous. Submissions must be received by February 15, 2010. Contact someone on the steering committee if you are interested in the journal.
