(17,204 posts)Hui Chen has done an enormous thing with her life - she's REALLY walking the walk - some support and encouragement would go a long way to help her on her journey. We're in this together with her.
I'm including a shot of what I found on her Twitter page.
I salute Hui Chen. @HuiChenEthics
