Komen Kick-Off

For the second year in a row, the Embassy partnered with Komen in hosting its pre-race reception celebrating the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure.  Several of the area's top fundraisers are invited to the event and their commitment is very inspiring. One woman in attendance was celebrating one million raised in the last 14 years! Congresswoman and breast cancer survivor Debbie Wasserman Schultz was one of the guests speakers and she made some very interesting comments about young women with breast cancer having different issues to deal with than older women. She also spoke about her efforts to introduce legislation making genetic testing for the BRCA gene more accessible. I also spoke briefly with WTOP's Bob Madigan who has emceed the race for the last 25 years and Cynne Simpson from WJLA who emceed our event and is involved with another local fundraising effort for breast cancer called DC Newsbabes. So many impressive people!

    I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Irumole); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
    for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as spirituallighthealing101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
    more.
