What you’re about to hear is a series of mini-episodes recorded during a fundraising event at Nice Winery. We spoke with past patients, survivors, and supporters. They all bring their individual stories but they all have one thing in common: their undying support for The Rose’s mission.
First up is Mike Giordanelli, whose wife is a twenty-seven year breast cancer survivor. He’s got a unique perspective about breast cancer from a spouses point of view. 
We thank Mike and his family for their continued advocacy. They play tennis with Claire Goosey and you can refer back to episode fifty-seven to learn more about Claire’s organization Serve Up for the Cure.
After Mike is Jessica Sebesta.
Whether you’re a corporate executive or small business owner, joining The Rose’s mission is easier than ever.
We then move on to Lenora Farinola. During this short conversation, she details her journey as a mother whose two daughters were diagnosed with breast cancer within six months.
You’ll what kept her strong, and you’ll hear her advice for those with kids fighting this disease.
To learn more about Lenora’s daughters’ struggles with breast cancer, go back to episode twenty-six featuring Claudia Farinola.
And finally, we talk with Alexis Rogers. During this conversation, she discusses the Emma Jacobs Foundation’s relationship with The Rose, as well as the importance of supporting children whose parents are fighting breast cancer.
Thank you to Nice Winery for hosting this and so many fundraising events through the years. Learn more about founder Ryan Levy and their series of charity wines, including the Nice Rose, which benefits The Rose, during episode one-thirty-one.
