Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine’s 2015 award presented to Barbara Jacoby.
What an exciting start to the New Year! Let Life Happen celebrated its 8th anniversary on January 22nd that is highlighted by a perfect record of a weekly blog posting over all of those years. Then, on January 27th, came the announcement by Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine of its 2015 award winners that included those who were honored in 12 separate categories. I can’t begin to tell you how grateful and humbling it was to be named “Breast Cancer Blogger of the Year”.
I want to congratulate all of the other winners and thank you on behalf of everyone who has dealt with breast cancer on any level for your contributions that have provided hope, inspiration, assistance and guidance.Barbara Jacoby
