In memory of Katherine Picard, wife of Bruce Picard (GSW member) and Tommy Young (GSW member). Katherine and Tommy passed away in December, 2007. They both had cancer! We cannot change this and most of us are not scientists who can work on finding a cure. However, as a team, we can inspire, encourage, and raise money for cancer treatment and research for a better future. How to Join the team!
