Meeting John and Elizabeth Edwards
So as we all know, the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate was held in Charleston this past Monday and I had the great pleasure of meeting John and Elizabeth Edwards while they were in town. Well I didn’t really meet the Senator but I did shake his hand. I did however meet Mrs. Edwards. As PR chair for the Lowcountry Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure I worked with the Edwards campaign office (which they were great) to set up an opportunity for some of our survivors to present her with a banner (signed by hundreds of survivors) and a bouquet of pink roses. Lucy Spears also gave Mrs. Edwards a Komen lapel pin which I noticed later that evening Mrs. Edwards was proudly wearing during her post-debate interview with CNN. We only got about five minutes of her time but she was so gracious and it was really cool to be able to hug her and let her know that A LOT of people are behind her.
BTW - the lapel pin that Senator Edwards is wearing is a tribute to his son, Wade. It was Wade’s Outward Bound pin. My heart goes out to them. I know their son is so proud of his parents.
