HuffPo: Elizabeth Edwards: Live Until You Die
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-sawyers/elizabeth-edwards-live-u_b_48037.html

..snip..

Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Presidential candidate John Edwards, got my fearless vote when she took the stage in Washington, DC last week, on behalf of the National Coalition For Cancer Survivorship (NCCS). Her message was clear: "Live until you die." And why not? And who better than a cancer survivor whose cancer has come back to say so?

Clearly, Mrs. Edwards is a woman with a mission. Having been introduced to a set of adolescent sisters who reluctantly shook hands with the candidate's wife early in the evening only to be reintroduced later with their names transposed, Mrs. Edwards pointed toward each of the young ladies, without really pointing, and said "but you're Ruthie and you're Julia." Talk about charm and grace under fire.

So it was that she, together with Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, Alma Powell wife of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Honorary Gala Chair anti-cancer activist and philanthropist Lilly Tartikoff and dedicated supporters from the fashion industry and cancer survivor community gathered for the annual Ray of Hope Awards Gala. Honorees were celebrated for their personal contributions in helping those who battle cancer, whether through raising money for cancer research, increasing awareness, or educating survivors.
