One Person Who Has Made a Difference

It has been said that "one person can make a difference". I know one who has: Sheryl Silver, whose sister, Johanna, died of ovarian cancer. Sheryl decided that she had to do something so other mothers didn't bury their daughters and children mourn their Mothers. And she has. She started with the Congressman in Johanna's district. Sheryl Silver has worked tirelessly for years gathering support from both sides of the aisles in Congress, from women's groups and from parts of the medical community so that Johanna's Law was signed into law by the president.
Sheryl Silver, a journalist and author, continues to devote her time, effort and energies to Johanna's Law which provides for education on female cancers. Spread the word so that your friends and relatives are aware.
While other groups and people ---some of whom have high profiles---have since embraced the issue, I will never forget that it was a sister missing her sister who started the effort. Sheryl Silver is one person who has made an extraordinary difference and I am thankful she has.
