Thanks to my G4 family and my actual family, and thank you all for supporting live theatre. MY STORY Cancer. I hate that word. The fact is, the word cancer strikes a terrifying chord with everyone, and most especially if you've watched it decimate your family. Everyone on my Mother's side had had a cancer diagnosis, three out of five dying from the disease, and my paternal aunt died of breast cancer at 31. I knew all too well about my family history. Cancer had been up close and personal. I had just turned 40, gotten married and was enjoying a particularly busy time in my career on stage. And then my doctor called. My cancer was discovered after a routine mammogram came back abnormal, resulting in a biopsy that revealed DCIS—a noninvasive, early form of breast cancer.

  • Quarterback Sami Grisafe Comes out of Retirement, Returns to the Chicago
    ChicagoPride.com News March 8, 2017 Quarterback Sami Grisafe comes out of retirement, returns to the Chicago Force By Ross Forman March 8, 2017 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/82083025 Singing sensation also has been a gridiron great on the local and international field CHICAGO, IL -- She's baaaack! Yep, Sami Grisafe, arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of women's tackle football, is returning to the Chicago Force after a two-year retirement. The eight-game Force regular-season kicks off in April and the home opener is May 6, when Chicago plays host to the Minnesota Vixen, with kickoff set for 6 p.m., at Evanston Township High School. Grisafe's return was spurred by team owner Linda Bache, who has announced the 2017 season will be the team's last, though new owner(s) could potentially acquire the team. And the Force, Grisafe said, has become her "surrogate family" over the past decade or so. "The idea of getting to play football with my sisters for one more year put a lot of joy in my heart, (and) I saw an opportunity to redeem myself after my injury-stricken season in 2014," Grisafe said. "I feel good about the decision. Football is my first love. You can never completely get your first love out of your system. Luckily, I still have gas in the tank and am fortunate enough to continue playing. It's also nice to still feel wanted by my teammates, coaches, and management." Still, Grisafe said it was a "very difficult" decision to put her pads back on.
