There are few things in life that make you feel as great like laughter. I had the pleasure of attending a fun and laughter filled giggle fest for a The Three Tomatoes event benefiting Comedy Cures.

My super cool and incredibly inspiring girlfriend Saranne Rothberg, is one brilliant ray or light and the founder of the Comeday Cures Foundation. I love that she puts her daughter first in all that she does and being her friend is nothing short of extraordinary. I wish more single entertainment moms could take a page from her book!

Right from her site:

The ComedyCures Foundation tickles funny bones! We bring joy, laughter, and therapeutic humor programs to kids and grown-ups living with illness depression, trauma and disabilities. Through large & small scale therapeutic comedy programs, we entertain and educate patients, families and caregivers about the power of a comic perspective and the positive benefits of laughter on the body, mind, and spirit. "Yes, laughter is great medicine!" Love, laughter and hope are communicated in every aspect of our unique programs.

Saranne Rothberg is a woman with a simple goal—to help you find joy in your journey. Saranne launched The ComedyCures Foundation, a 501(c)3 human service organization, from her chemo chair in 1999 as an outgrowth of her personal experience with the healing power of a comic perspective. She and her daughter discovered that therapeutic comedy served as a great family coping strategy as they dealt with Saranne’s early stage IV cancer diagnosis.

Today, Saranne is cancer-free and has taken ComedyCures’ life-affirming work to ill patients and families throughout the country. Her ground-breaking digital ComedyCures' PSA campaign launched daily this fall on the most listened to radio station in the country. This "ComedyCures LaughingLunch Break" at 12:35pm is impacting millions of people a month with hilarious performances by America's funniest comics. In addition, Saranne helped over 160,000 people at more than 260 live events rediscover their funny bones through her motivational, inspirational, laughter-rich performances and unique therapeutic productions. Oprah features Saranne as her "Hero" in her book, "Live Your Best Life".
