She passed away on 10/12/08 after a 3-year battle with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, leaving behind her husband and two young daughters, ages 8 and 4. She was recently named President of the Gal to Gal Foundation - see www.galtogalwalk.org. There’s a YouTube video of a speech she gave on 10/2/08 in New York at www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_QET7Ivwv8, and a Huffington Post article written by Beth Feldman on 10/14/08 www.huffingtonpost.com/beth-feldman/in-memory-of-dorit-shapir_b_134519.html.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>I was privileged to attend the evening in her honor in New York. It was a difficult and yet uplifting evening for our family. I am exceedingly proud of Dorit, my younger sister, for her part in helping build awareness of Gal To Gal, and for her inspiring words that night. She was most definitely on a mission, and she carried herself very well, despite her physical ailments taking their toll.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>We will all miss her.<BR/><BR/>Ron Opher<BR/>Founder and Executive Director<BR/><BR/>Daddy’s Spirit Moves Me Forward<BR/>www.DaddysSpirit.org<BR/>Valley Forge, PAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30969757.post-90724601351184116582008-10-14T19:19:00.000-04:002008-10-14T19:19:00.000-04:00That is so sad; but what a courageous fight, and a...That is so sad; but what a courageous fight, and amazing legacy.Chrissie Raysorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155958310998418087noreply@blogger.com
