Recuperation journey: Night out with friends

... for a good cause!

Daughter Allegra and I had a great time with friends at Bras for The Valley Thursday night at Il Palio Ristorante in Shelton.

Mystery model!

The fashion show featuring men (and one lovely woman) modeling "creatively decorated" bras was a benefit for The Valley Goes Pink, an initiative each October that benefits The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital.

The Valley Goes Pink seeks to:

• create awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection;
• support the Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital, and;
• showcase partnering organizations.

As a six-year breast cancer survivor I was happy  to see so many people turn out for the fun and support this important cause. 

The place was packed!
