Sometimes you meet young people who seem to have it all together at an early age.
That was my impression of Angela Khan when I met her when she was just 15 and an Ansonia High School student. She seemed much more mature than many of her peers at the time.  

Now 20 and in the U.S. Marine Corps, Angela and her best friend, Sarah Linley, also 20 and an AHS graduate, want to make a difference in the lives of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Sarah is also in the military, serving as a U.S. Army Reservist. I've never met her, but it was clear as I spoke with her on the phone that she also is a determined young woman.

The two are raising funds to become eligible to participate in what I would consider grueling 60-mile walk, to be held July 27-29 in Boston.
From baking cookies and making jewelry to getting the word out through social media, the young women are working hard to reach their $2,300 fund-raising goals. Each participant needs to raise that much money before the walkathon to be able to participate.

I commend Angela and Sarah on their determination and wish them both success in their fund-raising and in their training regimens.
