I’m still looking for people who would like to get involved for this unique and great opportunity to do some good and have a ton of fun. IN MEMORY OF MARICELA RODRIGUEZ VALDES, I LOVE YOU MOM! What makes this a little extra special for me is that it’s just a few days after my mother's birthday. She supported me at competitions whilst battling breast cancer. Her strength has always been an inspiration to me on and off the mats. I've found so much strength in her words and examples. In her memory I hope to bring awareness to all types of cancer, help by fundraising, and simply to make my momma proud. Please show your support by donating as little or large a gift you feel is right. Christmas was also her favorite time of year so with that giving spirit, let's give a gift to those in the fight of their lives. https://wecan.tapcancerout.org/fundraiser/4265133 A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF EVERY 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IS ITS TRANSPARENCY TO WHERE ITS FUNDS ACTUALLY GO.
