Livingston Cancer Survivor's Book Takes its Inspiration to Good Morning America

LIVINGSTON, NJ - Jennifer Pellechio Lukowiak, the self-published author of “Does This Outfit Make Me Look Bald?” was among several fellow breast-cancer survivors Wednesday as Good Morning America (GMA) kicked off the first ever “Baton Pass” benefitting cancer patients. The relay race, ending September 5, will send messages of hope by passing a baton from the heart of New York City to Los Angeles, while simultaneously raising money for the nonprofit organization Standing Up To Cancer.

According to Lukowiak, Siemens Healthcare will donate $1 for every pass of the baton, up to their goal of $1 million. Lukowiak, a 1986 Livingston High School graduate, said the event was important to her not only because she was able to personally hand her book to GMA’s Robin Roberts and Amy Robach, but also because she and the other participants were able to further promote the message that cancer can be beaten.

“You’re braver that you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think,” Lukowiak said, quoting A.A. Milne. “If I can do this twice, you can do it too.”
