Jayne, Nancy, Alberti and I had the chance to attend this year's FFANY Gala event in NYC.  The bus ride was fun and seeing the city again is always so exciting.  It's still hard to imagine how a bus navigates these streets!

The true star of the evening was a room filled with designer shoes...

Last evening celebrated the many generous donors whom over the years have donated over 2 million pairs of shoes and $50 million dollars for breast cancer research and education❤️ The evening included a beautiful tribute to Marc Fisher's father, Jerome who is the cofounder of FFANY in tribute to his daughter who eventually died of breast cancer....

 

I was proud to share the evening with many breast cancer survivors like Nancy who inspire us every day!

I am personally grateful for all of the breast cancer research... My sister Karen is a survivor and an inspiration to me! Like so many, our family does not have a history of breast cancer but Karen's was discovered in a routine mammogram.  She underwent surgery and chemo therapy but thanks to new discoveries she is able to continue her life as a mom of four wonderful kids! I donated and shopped to honor her courage!

 

The ballroom was breathtaking and filled with beautiful friends...

Thank you again for your support of this great cause. The mission continues to find a cure for breast cancer.... because of you over $50 million dollars is helping the world get closer to a cure❤️ I invite you to continue to shop for the remainder of the month...the shoes you are buying are getting us closer to the cure!

 

I am grateful to have enjoyed a glamorous and fun evening...My prayers to those who suffer, the fearless survivors and those who love  them❤️

 

Though the city never sleeps... it was time I did!
