Thank you Ria for your tireless activism and creative output. It was a joy and pleasure to document this exhibit featuring you, Branka and Betty. All of you are remarkable and inspirational women.
I'm glad you've said what so many of us feel, but somehow feel constrained to actually say in "polite society". You've reminded me that cancer is anything but "polite" and that sometimes imploite-ness is absolutely called for in order to raise $$$ to fight a heinous disease.
Thank you John! All Best to you!
