Like many others, Allure has spent the pandemic looking inward.

I remember the day the world shut down.

Like you, I was based in New York City.

This whole experience didnt feel real to you who would have ever thought this would become our reality?

Yet, without hesitation, you traveled across the country to volunteer at a hospital in Utah.

It goes without saying your actions were nothing short of admirable.

And for that, we thank you.

When your co-worker died by suicide, you were shaken to the core.

You have remained a strong advocate for nurses.

I cant begin to imagine the horrors you experienced.

To watch people die.

To console heartbroken family members.

To hope, to love, and to live among the darkness.

(And he survived, thanks to healthcare heroes like you.)

So, heres to you, Chris.

May you continue saving lives while fighting the good fight.

Keep on keeping on for yourself and the thousands of nurses who look up to you.
