Cycle for Survival vows to continue the 'fearless' fight of Jennifer Goodman Linn.
Jennifer Goodman Linn was honored on Friday at the Riverside Memorial Chapel in New York City, where nearly 800 family and friends, and the Cycle of Survival community, celebrated her life through tears -- and at Jen's request – laughter and smiles. "Jen understood what life was all about," said Rabbi Peter Kasdan, rabbi emeritus of Temple Emanu-El of West Essex. "She knew its fragility and brevity. She made a decision when she was just a little girl that she would not waste one breath to mediocrity or lose one moment to idleness." Jen founded Cycle for Survival in 2006, which has raised more than $9 million for research of rare cancers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. She was a graduate of Livingston High School, Duke University, and Harvard …

An excerpt from Jennifer Goodman Linn's latest blog on 'You Fearless.'
Excerpt from You Fearless, May 21, 2011 I find that when I don’t feel well or I am down, I love to be around children. I think it’s because they haven’t developed fears about what to say … they just say it like it is. I think we all wish at times we could just “say it like it is” but we get overwhelmed or concerned about people’s reactions and this makes our communication less honest and pure. So many of my friends who have dealt with cancer credit their kids for keeping them sane. Some of my favorite stories: Read the rest of Jen's blog on YouFearless @ Out of the Mouth of Babes, May 21, 2011. Read more by Jennifer Goodman Linn on YouFearless.com and WebMD.com.
