About this project...
This project is important to me for the same reasons it may be to you. My father, Ralph Jerald Gilliard succumbed after a lengthy battle with several diseases, stomach cancer being the one that eventually took his life. My mother Janice Gilliard, battled with breast cancer 5 years ago. I thank God she is a survivor. I have other beloved friends and relatives who have been affected by this disease to various degrees. Five years ago, as my mother went through chemotherapy, followed by radiation treatments, my heart was broken for her. It was difficult for me to know how to reach out to her, because I didn't fully understand her experience. That is when God showed me a way to honor her as well as others whom I deeply love and respect - it is called National Send A Card Day. It took me several years to gain enough confidence to pursue this vision. Perhaps, I'd still be contemplating, but God has instructed me to move now. He has also opened many doors in order for this day to become a reality.
I believe this campaign will make a difference. I understand that it cannot be accomplished from the heart of one person, but it will take the hearts of many. Please join me - together we will make this an annual event.
