I recently entered an essay contest sponsored by O'Cedar. The contest was open to people that have or have a family member that had or has breast cancer. I wrote an essay about my grandmother’s passion for gardening and her inability to continue since her diagnosis. I found out that I was one of the 40 Semi-finalists! I was so excited. Each essay can be chosen on by the public. The top 25 will go on to be finalists and then a panel will choose the top 15 essays. Each of the 15 winners will receive $1,000. Read my essay, you will see what I want to do! My essay is titled ‘Garden of Hope’.. http://www.ocedar.com/hope/main.taf?p=8,7 Thanks everyone!
