I never have met anyone here before tonight. The people here and I share a common bond. Almost all of us have had cancer affect ourselves or our immediate loved ones. For the first few hours of this gala, I have been soaking in their greatness. My little tweets and updates do not convey the warmness and caring of this community. They prepared a special meal for me to eat. They understand what it means to be fighting cancer. They have all lived through it. Thank you all.
