Well, I guess it’s official 🥂 again!
Marc and I were beyond moved to accept the honor of being The 2021 Breath of Life Award recipients, unfortunately, the event was postponed due to COVID but now it’s back and in-person on November 17, 2022.
It’s crazy to see the ‘Save-the-Date’ cards we just received today. I’m sure I’ll be sharing the process with you all as the date gets closer.
Totally overwhelmed by the honor.
*from the website:
The Breath of Life Gala is the annual signature fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Greater New York Chapter. This high-profile event attracts corporate leaders, tastemakers, and influencers from the New York Metropolitan area.
We are elated to honor Marc and Margarete Cassalina, our Breath of Life Award recipients, for their unwavering commitment and support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation both locally and across the country. We are also proud to honor two tremendous doctors, Dr. Maria Berdella and Dr. Patricia Walker, with the Partner in Care Award for their fervent care of CF patients and community.
We hope you will join us in honoring Marc and Margarete Cassalina, Dr. Maria Berdella, and Dr. Patricia Walker at the Breath of Gala on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at Cipriani 25 Broadway in New York, New York.

Last night I got SHAMROCKED!
What exactly does that mean?
It means that I came to Atlanta to party ☘️and left with PURPOSE!
And so did the gentleman in the leprechaun hat as he told me, “I come for the beer and I donate my wallet.”
“Fair trade.” I said.
The young lady in green tights and lucky four leaf clover shirt told me, “I had no idea what this was all about. My friends told me it’s like a ton of really good food, lots to drink, and they have a really good band to dance all night. But the next thing I know I’m holding my flashlight in the air and I’m donating hundreds of dollars to cystic fibrosis.”
Yup, she got shamrocked too.
Jon and Pam Baker and 20+ of their closest friends knew about this secret Shamrockin magic and started Shamrockin for a CF Cure in 2009. Over the years I was honored a few times to speak at this event and see the magic happen with my own eyes.
After Jon ‘moved up’ to heaven last year ($!@!! Cancer) his commitment to finding a cure for CF stayed here on earth. After all, he promised his boys he’d cure their cystic fibrosis alive or…
The AMAZING committee took it to a whole new level this year with the highest pre-event sponsorship donations of $250,000 and after the heart touching speeches, the silent auctions, the live auction and then the must-have-tissues Baker video…every single soul last night got shamrocked and went home with their pockets a little lighter and The CF Foundation got a little closer to a cure.
Being Shamrocked is knowing there’s always a higher purpose than what you see. It’s what you feel when you know you’ve made a difference in this world.
Dear friends, may you be Shamrocked everyday!
Happy 29th Birthday, Jena ❤️
It’s finally finished. The Jena Penny Floor that LOVE built. All 33,000 Pennies, given in love because you touched their heart.
If we all could inspire that kind of love, just think what a better world we’d live in. ❤️
I love you more than words can say ❤️

Then and Now.
I know there’s a #10YearChallenge popular right now, comparing where you were 10 years ago to where you are today.
I thought I’d take that notion and go back a few decades more.
Tomorrow is our 31st wedding anniversary.
Honestly, in 1991, we were just two kids with no clue about what we’d face together.
For better or worse, in sickness and in health were words we just said at the alter.
Sure we meant it, as much as any 22-year-old would have an understanding of what that would mean.
Boy, did life school us on that!
Here we are, 31 years later, parents and now grandparents, and we are still trying to figure out this crazy little thing called life.
But one thing for certain is that this life would have killed me if it weren’t for Marc.
So, to my best friend, my foxhole buddy, my husband that somehow understands and still loves my crazy…I’ll take any challenge as long as I have you.
Happy 31st! ❤️
