Later, Linda founded the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA), a professional support group made up of the top 10 percent of Christian Women in both publishing and speaking and to which all the women belong. Eva Marie was the first person (besides Roy) to know about Deb's diagnosis and she immediately activated several prayer chains to pray for Deb. Linda brought Deb's breast cancer challenge to the attention of the National Speakers Association prayer chain.

Bonnie is an example of the people, all over the country, who took on breast cancer walks and supported Deb in many ways. Among the blessings of her breast cancer journey are all the friendships that grew and developed during that time.
