the ovarian cancer research fund and one of the hosts of "live with kelly & michael," my great friend, kelly ripa. ♪ >> her name was michelle singleton. she was the proud mother of four children. and at the age of 32 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. she was a single parent while fighting this brutal disease. michelle was jody farley-beren's childhood friend. she would buy her extra cleaning supplies at the store and make her meal while she was making her own family's dinner so michelle didn't have to. because when you are dealing with breast cancer, staying alive for your children is really your number one job. michelle did not make it, and jody knew that there must be other parents out there fighting and alone.
