walking and the sea of people there to support their fight, celebrate their victories and remember loved ones”
said Joelle Jarvis, marketing director.  “Having lost my mom to breast cancer a few years ago, it was
incredibly moving to have one woman after another share how Chicken Soup for the Soul books helped
