Although there is much ado about The Event this weekend as we try and bring as many people into Georgetown South as possible so they can donate to "Reyna's Children," we may be losing sight of the woman behind the cause.
Her name is Reyna Torres Alatriste who I watched break down in tears as she realized that her idea of sending her children to Mexico ahead of her so she could fight the cancer here was a ridiculous idea because she would not last any time at all without being able to see her kids, Yarizel (11), Rebecca (10), Marking (5) and Esther (3).
She then decided that she would make it like a vacation where she is taking the children to Mexico to meet their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins while these same people can care for Reyna as she fights the cancer there.
