Geraldine Ferraro

03/27/11
Former Vice Presidential candidate, Geraldine Ferraro, died today. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1998. Since my diagnosis, I have often thought about her and how long she had this disease. She gave me hope and it was comforting to know of someone who was diagnosed that many years ago who was still alive. I hope I can survive as many years as she did. She has been an inspiration to me.
