THESECONDOPINION'S 6TH ANNUAL BREAKFAST SPEAKER BENEFIT EVENT

This is thesecondopinion's 6th Annual Breakfast Speaker Benefit. For this major fundraiser to be a success, we need you to join us!

Dr. Verghese is a wonderful speaker and his new novel is amazing. You will get a copy of "The Covenant of Water" with your ticket purchase or with a donation of $100 or more.

All funds raised from the event will be used to provide free, comprehensive second opinions to cancer patients and their family members.

The Covenant of Water - A shimmering evocation of a lost India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the hardships undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. It is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.
