Breast Cancer Showhouse

I’ve been involved with the Milwaukee Breast Cancer Showhouse for a Cure for 10 years. Millions of dollars have been raised to support the Medical College’s Cancer Center research efforts.
Who hasn’t been touched by breast cancer? Four women in my family have had this devastating disease. Two aunts, who are survivors, and their two daughters who weren’t as lucky. My cousin Julie, a wife and mother, died a couple of years ago at 47. Rhonda, also a wife and mother, died January 1, 2008, just 3 weeks before her 39th birthday.
I support these research efforts by designing and creating a room. This year I am teaming up with my friend Susan Michalek of Desumi Design. We are creating an artist’s atelier or retreat. It will be colorful, fun and funky. We will feature lots of design ideas.
I will be posting before, during and after photos as we begin the design process. In the meantime, go to http://www.breastcancershowhouse.org for more details about touring this year’s house.
We need to do everything we can to cure cancer and keep the memory alive for those we loved and miss.
