Weekend of Cancer













I had the joy of photographing two cancer benefit events this weekend. The Lymphoma and Leukemia Society's Man and Woman of the Year Gala took place on Friday night. This event raises money for the ongoing research and treatment of blood borne cancers. It was a powerful night with stories of treatment, survival and the hope that this foundation brings to so many lives. Andy Carson of Fox 12 Oregon ran the live auction and the foundation raised a substantial amount of money. It was nice to see my good friend Eric Tweed at the event. I have had a great time in the past photographing his band Sweet City Slang. More on the other Cancer event tomorrow...
