"Kimberly has impressed me by her spirit of excellence, attention to detail and her seemingly tireless work ethic. Above all that, her kindness, generosity, positive attitude and upbeat nature benefits our Sparrow children and the organization as a whole. I believe many other charity orgainizations have benefitted in similar ways by the gracious, community minded spirit of Kimberly." ~Jeff Leeland, Founder, National Board Member and Former Executive Director of Sparrow Clubs USA

Why Advocate For The American Cancer Society?
It seems as though most, but not all, of the Sparrow children that I have worked with over the years have cancer. My own family has been devastated by cancer. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, good Friends and even my Brother-In-Law have either passed away or are currently fighting for their lives. I decided to become an advocate and volunteer because cancer touches so many lives. Not only is the patient affected, their families and friends are as well. It is the second leading cause of death in the US and over 1,500,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year alone. Cancer patients need people to advocate for them for health care, insurance, research funding, ETC. I believe in the cause of fighting cancer and finding a cure. If we all work together, we will succeed.
