truly an
amazing person. nominated for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Woman
Of The Year and deservingly so. after raising money through her virtual benefit
concert (video above), Kina set another lofty goal of raising $50,000 for a
cancer research grant. too ambitious? her group of dedicated runners of RunTeamKina raised
$71,886.
the money she raised will go a long
way for any lab needing funds. pilot projects are ideas that just need to get
off the ground. once they have enough substantial research, the little idea can
grow into a potential new way of looking at the scientific puzzle
where interested investigators can fund a larger scale project.
i was lucky enough to see her
perform in NY recently and meet her backstage. she’s back from a world tour and
her music is refreshingly original. her lyrics are relatable and you can’t help
but imagine the path in life she’s been through. when here mother was Sick in
the hospital, her lyrics resonated through to family members sleeping in
waiting rooms waiting for love ones; “somehow my love might make it go”.
