“I got to donate blood yesterday for the blood drive. It's finally been long enough since my last active chemo treatment (2 years).

“I'm looking forward to Saturday evening’s Jenna Won't Sing performance at the Firehouse Café, a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness.

“Feeling Blessed to still be here to enjoy these events and the wonderful people behind them.”

Jane, an LPN at Pediastric Associates since 1999, is a 3-time breast cancer survivor.

She grew up in Worthington but lives in Fairmont with her husband for 27 years, Henry Moore. Beth Pritchard Brooks, Class of 1978, is Nene’s sister.

Jane’s maternal grandfather is the famous Ted McDaniel, long-ago Monongah Streetcar Stationmaster.

Ted’s son, Donald McDaniel, Class of 1946, passed away in 1963. Another son, Jim McDaniel, Class of 1960, lives in Behoboth Beach, Delaware.
