Public speaking has been part of the 50x50x100 from the get-go, but now with the 50 states in the rear mirror, the vocal part of the campaign is at the forefront.
Since the beginning of the year I have been actively speaking to the press and groups in a variety of forums, all in a continued effort to spread the message of early detection for ovarian cancer.
Most recently a piece aired on FiOS1. Titled "Heroes On Our Island", the campaign was highlighted. While I'm not comfortable with the title, it was a great opportunity to get the word out. Click here to see the interview or go to the Video Section of this blog.
On to the political level. A couple of weeks ago, I learned my campaign was recognized in Nassau County. Our county executive, Ed Mangano, presented me with the 2014 Woman of Achievement Award. I had no idea I was nominated and it was really quite an honor. While receiving the award, Mr. Mangano leaned over to me and asked if I had really completed 50 triathlons. It was really funny. You can't make this stuff up.
So as you can see, the campaign isn't over yet. Stay tuned...more to come.
