Meeting Deborah de Williams




Today Tess (our elderly Jack Russell) and I were lucky enough to meet Deborah de Williams and her border collie Maggie, who are running for charity. They are attempting a world record run around Australia with 365 days on the road, and raising awareness of the search for a cure for breast cancer along the way. Deb's artist husband drives the wonderful pink support van. I was especially interested because of the tie-in with my book WILDERNESS (Eternal Press - www.eternalpress.ca ) which is also about a cancer survivor running for charity. To support Deb and Maggie and their team, check out www.runningpink.com.au .

I love all of the work people are doing to support breast cancer awareness. It is such an important cause. I recently found a unique pendant at All Wired Up jewelry. You can purchase it online at http://www.allwiredupjewelry.com. A portion of proceeds are donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
