Ebony Magazine's "Cancer Diva" Daphne Evans Runs On for Others
May 20, 2014

Here's a note from Daphne Evans whose story of being more than a conqueror was featured in Ebony Magazine....

Loves, we are celebrating life (my 4th anniversary in remission after my third bout, spinal cancer) and honoring a number of women fighting right now. I want to help pay for extras that their insurance company doesn't cover during clinical trials and new medicines. Please see our invitation below; come and join with us next Saturday. We are wearing our favorite sport attire; men, women and kids are welcome! 

 
Love, 
Daphne
