 Dear Reader,

Deputy Director Anne-Marie Hartwig is currently looking for event sponsors. If you’d like more information about sponsoring, please reach out to her at
Our program staff has also been hard at work developing new initiatives. Next Generation Program Director Lianna Hartmour has enjoyed interviewing girls ages 5-7 and their parents/caregivers about our healthy activity program in development. She’s still looking for girls and their parents/caregivers, especially in Marin County! Do you know anyone who might be interested in speaking with Lianna for 30-60 minutes for $100? Families can receive up to $500 total if they give feedback throughout program development. Anyone interested can complete the form at zbclink.org/girlsfeedback or contact Lianna at

The first, Peripheral Neuropathy: Dealing with Nerve Problems After Cancer Treatment, will be next week on Wednesday, April 27 at 10 am PT.
