Rohm, pictured here with daughter Easton, soon to be 4 years old.

Rhm is greatly moved and inspired by the lessons and values her mother taught her. My mother was quite the gardener. I would love to know more about gardening, for Eastons sake as well, says Rhm. My mom had a huge garden in New York; the blueprint of her work is still there. Rhm says her family loves to eat organic, healthy foods and she is focused on that with Easton. We are a vegetarianfriendly family and I like to share this with Easton. Id love to create a large garden of our own someday. As a mom, actress and someone just full of passion, inspired by her own mother, Rhm supports healthy child, healthy world, and global green issueshow to llive a greener life.

As with all great things in my life, my work with the Red Cross was inspired by my mother, says Rhm. At a very dicult time for my mother nancially, her house was in a re and the Red Cross replaced her roof. My mother urged me years later to focus my energy on their relief work, which I have done in New York as well as internationally, says Rhm. Im an emergency-trained volunteer in New York, and have been involved with fundraising on their behalf. Rhm is an advocate for the Campaign for Cancer Prevention, an organization that supports cutting-edge research and prevention strategies against cancer. The Campaign is partnered with Brigham and Women's Hospital, a agship hospital of

Harvard Medical school. Its important for me to get behind a campaign that excites me, says Rhm, who often writes about the Campaigns mission. Most charities are grassroots and you dont know where your donation money goes. That can make you powerless when it comes to diseases, she says. The Campaign for Cancer Prevention (www.causes.com/cancer) educates donors and participants. There is information about where your money goes. With cancer, we have a big ght ahead of us. Rhm writes a popular Web blog about her life and travels as a working mom. To learn more about Elizabeth and to read her writings, visit www.Elisabeth-Rhm.com.
