A letter from Gali:

Last month, when I was diagnosed with lymphoma, I learned unequivocally that really tough things can happen for no apparent reason. I also learned that gestures of kindness, big and small, can make an immeasurable difference.  My intention is to pay forward all of the kindness that has been extended to me. My school, Alexander Robertson School, instills in very young children empathy, kindness, courtesy and thoughtfulness as their mission. 

When my friends designed these hats in honor of my battle, I knew that I wanted the ARS tuition assistance fund to benefit because this cause is so close to my heart.  This will enable some very deserving young students to grow and flourish armed with the qualities that will make the world a better place.  Having cancer grants you perspective you never wanted but also boundless gratitude.  Thank you for supporting me and my school.
