Me pretending I knows how to fix a flat tire on my bike. Current Occupation:
Right now I am a program assistant at the Commonwealth Fund, a
not-for-profit organization that supports research on health care
issues and makes grants to improve health care practice and policy. I am happy when I am lying on the beach, attempting to surf, and
spending time with family and friends. I am also happy (and pleasantly
surprised) when I go skiing and make it off the chair lift without
knocking anyone over.
When I "grow up" I want to know what I want to do. I love spending time with my family and friends. I hope that we can raise awareness and generate funds for bone cancer
research. I hope that this research will lead to a cure, so that
others do not have to experience what Sara, her family, and her
friends did. |
