Laura's Story

Life Happy birthday you have breast cancer/ was the gift I was given at 40 years of age. That is the furthest thing from ones mind when graduating hs is 1978 in Franklin Lakes NJ. I was raised in NJ/ graduated Ramapo in 1978. I attended college in NY at CW Post for one year to study music/ theatre and then transferred to ASU in Tempe Arizona. I graduated with a degree in Marketing and a minor in music/theatre that was 1982. I sang off and on with bands from 1979 through 1997. During that time I was in many marketing positions to include banking/ outside sales/ mortgages/ and my own childrens clothing business. I also had a "passion" for the music. In 1997 I went back to college to get a degree in MUSIC BUSINESS. IT WAS THEN I REALIZED...this was not only a passion but something that could turn into good for charities. So I put together a group of doctors called the Rockin Docs and took them to stardom here in the Phoenix area. They dressed in scrubs and I sang lead vocals and mana...Expand for more
ged while we raised over 300K for variouis charities. In 2000 I was given that news/ that every woman dreads! Mind you all in the same week: You have breast cancer, you are fired from the band, and your husband is leaving you...WHAT DOES ONE DO FOR AN ENCORE!!! Well today at 47/ I am in love again and planning another wedding/ my 17 year old daughter is graduating HS and I am cancer free for 3.5 years. Through all of this I did have a 2nd battle with breast cancer/ and finally had a masectomy. An act that will change your life forever/ but for the positive. I started my own non profit to assist others going thru this "nightmare" to learn to reach out and grab on to SONG. So we meet 2x a month and celebrate our journey with song! The sing 4 life breast cancer foundation was born when I was 40/ and that was my gift. I also sing localley with a jazz trio and duo/ and just embarked on a writing career. I will be part of a national book project coming out in the fall of 2007.
