EEF in Politico

Wednesday marks one year since the passing of Elizabeth Edwards from metastatic breast cancer.

In Self magazine, Elizabeth’s newlywed daughter, Cate, reflects on the many memories and momisms that have stayed with her:
There are things quintessentially Elizabeth that will always remind me of her. Some of them are grating (a constant flow of grammatical corrections). Some of them gracious (the constant claim that friends and family--not herself--are to thank for her own strength). Some of them are ill-advised (putting together meals comprised only of 100-calorie snacks). Some of them are good advice (to put together the biggest dream you can for yourself, then go one bigger). Some of them are passing (her idea to buy a bush hog and cut her own path in our backyard). Some of them are lasting (her idea to be herself, regardless, and forge her own path in life).

Cate left her job at a Washington law firm and started the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation in June. Click here to read the article.

Elizabeth Edwards Foundation in Glamour Magazine

Glamour Magazine hits news stands today containing an exclusive interview with Cate Edwards, president of the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation.

In the article, Cate Edwards says about her mom, "Her optimism gave hope to millions. But she was also a realist who couldn’t entirely escape contemplating her own mortality, and she explained to me her newly clear perspective. “We are defined by what we do and how we do it,” she told me. She never liked the word legacy; it seemed too much to live up to. She preferred the word story. Mom wanted the story she left behind to be worth telling. And it is. That is why, in May 2011, I left my job as an attorney to start the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation." Read more here.
