This episode resonated with me on a very personal level. While it was filming, I too was in the midst of helping to fulfill the wish of a dying parent. A friend of mine was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, a particularly aggressive sub-type of breast cancer, in 2005. After her diagnosis, a group of women helped her start the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation in hopes of raising awareness and supporting research about detection and treatment of the disease. When I got involved, the foundation was having trouble raising money, so I offered to use my resources as a fundraiser to help. In June 2007, I helped throw the foundation's first fundraiser and we raised $235,000. There were two beautiful things about this event: first of all, the organization used the money in such a smart way. They held the first ever triple negative breast cancer symposium. Secondly, my friend was able to attend the event, and she died two months later knowing that the foundation she dreamed of was finally thriving. Her wish was fulfilled. I consider myself tremendously blessed to have been a part of that moment, and to maybe have played a small part in ensuring that she died with a little bit more peace of mind. So while the contestants were filming Operation Big Dreams, I was working on the Triple Negative fundraiser in my home, and I was going through the same things they were going through. For me, it was a moment of "There before the grace of God go I." That could've been me - my friend was the same age as I was, with a daughter the same age as mine. I imagine Stephen may have had those same sentiments when he met Mike - here's another family man with daughters, it just as easily could have been him. It's an incredibly powerful experience. To everyone who watched the show tonight - if you have a family member or a friend who is having health problems, see if there is something you can do to fulfill a wish for them or to lighten their load. That might just mean taking their child to ballet class or hosting a play date. It could be anything. But do whatever you can to grant them that sense of peace. You won't just be helping them, I can honestly promise that you will be a changed person for having done it. There's nothing more meaningful than helping someone through their final days. As you can tell I was deeply affected by this episode. How could you not be? But I also can't wait for next week, when things lighten up a bit with a drop-in from John Travolta! I just love that the celebrities are all coming out to support our Big Give mission. I always say, service is the rent you pay for living. And it's so cool that society is beginning to embrace that!
