What a wonderful afternoon at Fran Drescher's Master Class Health Summit benefitting Cancer Schmancer
Keynote speakers included the legendary Jane Fond at a lovely luncheon dedicated to women, aging and our health! I learned quite a bit and came home with a fabulous book by Tamsen Fadal that I am excited to dive into!
OK. You outdid yourself today. It was incredible and I saw the video of Jane Fonda.
I saw all of the girl that I love that I follow and now I'm obsessed with the midlife muse. You were incredible Great job.
It was the best one yet!
This was my first year at Cancer Schmancer’s Health Summit and all I can say is I was blown away. I loved hearing all of the incredible speakers and was able to learn so much from them. The entire event was beautifully organized and it was apparent a great amount of thought, time and love went into every detail. I will be making this an annual event to attend!
Congratulations on another amazing event! I was so happy I got to be there. The event space was great... the speakers interesting and dynamic!
I'm watching your conversation with Jane Fonda. I'm extremely touched.
I'm gonna turn 70 in February and I'm working on making these big changes in my life and I just think the two of you are so inspiring. I've lived my whole adult life as an activist and Jane Fonda is such a huge hero and so are you.
You and your team put on an absolutely fabulous event last weekend.
Thank you again. I left feeling educated, supported, inspired, and also intrigued by what the future holds for awareness and prevention, too. Really spectacular.
Congratulations on the Health Summit!
I know you put an enormous amount of work into it. I watched it remotely. Who was the piano player at lunchtime? Brilliant!

I just wanted to say you did a great job putting the summit on.
I loved all the speakers (no one spoke too long) and the event just had a really nice flow.
