Sundance Therapies owner Sara Doherty, who will undergo a stem cell "rescue" later this month, says community support – including a fundraiser this Sunday – has been essential in helping her through treatment so far.
There is not one depressing thing about talking to Sara Doherty. She positively radiates joy. No small thing for a woman who has been undergoing chemotherapy for the past 14 months and is soon to have a stem cell "rescue," forcing her to be apart from her two young daughters for a month. Doherty was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in July 2011. To help her cover costs that won't be covered by insurance, Bob and Mary Ann Hartman of Back to Basics, together with another friend of Doherty's, have planned "Smiles and Sangria for Sara," a fundraiser at the East Greenwich Fireman's Hall.

At the ripe old age of 40-something, I am running out of “firsts” in my life. These days my “firsts” are reserved for my three children — ages 5, 7 and 9. However, when I was presented with an offer of a free massage, I couldn't refuse! I’ve never had a massage. Those who know me wouldn't be surprised. I rarely sit still; some would call my hyperactive. I'm also very cheap; I like to call it frugality. So, faced with the prospect of free massage, combined with the fact that it would be a work assignment, I couldn't say no, or could I? Ironically, I didn’t want to say yes.
