In 2008 Hanna Marie Christensen (my grandmother) died of Breast Cancer. I have been competing and coaching in gymnastics for about 26 years now. When she passed I wanted to start a benefit gymnastics meet to honor and remember her by and to also be able to help in some small way in breast cancer research and awareness! I wanted to work with the Huntsman Cancer Foundation and host a "Think Pink" girls gymnastics meet and donate all the proceeds directly to them! We have held this special meet the last 3 years and every year we have been able to donate more. I am SO very grateful for the women who I have been able to work with and to all those who have donated to this great cause. I love gymnastics, I love what it teaches the girls, and most of all I love watching them meet their goals and accomplish their dreams. Think Pink is one of many dreams of mine and I will continue to stive to make it a success! Janene Lay
