There have been so many amazing and supportive events going on involving The Cancer Couch, that I almost don't know where to start. The Mombie movement seems like a great place. It all started with this one very creative woman, Terry Davis, who lives in my town. She got a bunch of women together two Halloweens ago, to learn a choreographed dance routine to Michael Jackson's,Thriller. They dressed up like zombies, performed this "flash mob" dance to the delight of their kids, friends and neighbors...and that was it - just for fun. Or so they thought. Well, the video went viral and they knew something incredible had begun... This year, Terry and her crew got to thinking they could do something powerful and good with the attention the video garnered. One of the dancers was our own Board member, Caryn Sullivan, of Pretty Wellness and a fellow MBC patient. The group had a heightened awareness of our plight to increase MBC funding. They graciously decided to link TCCF website to the end of their video and direct people to donate once they finished viewing. To date, they have raised $14,469 - which will be doubled and rounded up (by an anonymous donor) to $30k. At their request, to keep some of the donations in our own community - we put ten percent into our Beth Davis fund for metastatic breast cancer patients in financial need at the Norma Pfriem Breast Center in town. Thank you #FairfieldMombies - you incredible, adventurous, cool, kind women! But... this movement didn't stop there. In fact, it may actually just be getting started ... My sis Viv, and her unbelievably smart, passionate, and generous mom friends in Cheshire, CT hopped on board the Mombie Movement and just completed an unbelievably creative Mombie video themselves. This time, the holiday theme was love and Valentines day. They have brought in a whopping $6080 to date. That will also be rounded up and doubled - to make a total of 14K going straight to research from their efforts. Thank you so much ladies. Click here to see both videos and donate through their creative cause! (Terry Davis - creator of Fairfield Mombies in pic to left below; Maricele Riemann, Catherine Takizawa, Vivian Ciampi (my sis) & Neeta Vatti- the creators of the #CheshireMombies are in the photo on the right! You have to watch these videos - to see the amazing, creative performances these incredible mom dance crews, and volunteer video and dance professionals, pulled off! THANK YOU SO MUCH! They encourage you to start a Mombie movement near you for TCCF! People are always so generous in asking how I am doing, so a quick update here on my health status: I am still taking part in a Phase Two clinical trial at MSKCC. It involves taking a combination of the drugs Ibrance and Casodex orally. It is really tolerable. It is working - as of my last scans - the cancer was stable and some areas receding. Cause to celebrate! ![]() A few announcements: Please consider hosting a Scoops Challenge! It is a great way to get your kids involved and empowered. Our goal is to have one taking place in all 50 states...and beyond! Remember, we will donate 10% of the proceeds from your event to set up an angel fund in your name or a breast cancer patient in your community to help local mbc patients in financial need. So, please consider hosting a "Last day/or week/or month of school Ice Cream Scoops Challenge" in your community! If you want to learn more about hosting a scoops challenge at a local ice scream store in your town, please contact Paula Cunningham at pcunns9@gmail.com or Vicki Swanson at vickiswanson@hotmail.com, or Vivian Ciampi vmciampi@gmail.com if your event will be off site at a park or somewhere (not at an ice cream store)! They will set you up with everything you need to do this! Perfect feel good way to kick off summer! And finally, I'm going to go ahead and file this one under the category, "Oh the terminally ill...we think we can do anything!" Because that seems to be the delusional vantage point from which I was operating when I decided to try my hand, er, mouth - at stand up comedy. It is so hard but THE BEST distraction from cancer. I am really hooked on trying to make people laugh and am having so much fun just writing and laughing at the jokes myself. If you are so inclined, and want to either laugh at or with me, and live anywhere near the NYC area, I am lucky enough to have the chance to perform, this Thursday evening March 8th, at 630pm, at the iconic New York Comedy Club. Click here for tickets and ... there is a bar next door where we can catch up after! For those of you who missed my debut comedy shows in CT, and a huge thank you to those who came from all over (Rochester wins!), and liked it enough to come back (New material!) I am headlining at The Fairfield Comedy Club on April 6th at 9pm. Use Promo code REBECCA for a discount and Click here for tickets. Please come out and support local comedy and this amazing comedy club on their first Friday night show!! A huge thank you to Tim Kerr from albatrosspros.com for the video! And the fabulous Lisa Garcia for the photography! Here is some footage of the debut night, courtesy of Photography by Lisa Garcia...

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647

I never believed in love spells until I saw a post of a woman on the internet on how a great spell caster helped and get her boyfriend back because I was also looking for guidance on how to get my husband who abandoned me and the children for another woman. I believe you will understand me as a woman with kids who loved his man so much. Now we are back together happily after Priest Salami did some prayers for me. If you are interested in getting your lover back, contact him purenaturalhealer@gmail.com

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
