For Rona

We’re rallying behind one of our good friends from high school, who is unfortunately battling the big C. Our dear friend, Rona Aumentado was diagnosed with colon cancer last August. She has had her surgery to get the tumor removed, and is now set to undergo her chemo treatments. Hope we can support her and send her our love!
