p.s. I am sitting here thinking about Relay and all the work and effort for a night of walking..that is a BLAST btw, but it isnt just for a night...its about he $ we raise for research...that leads to new medicine, pays for things needed by patients...like rides to appointments. It will hopefully lead to a cure one day so people will no longer suffer from Cancer or lose loved ones to it. When I was diagnosed, I immediately decided I would always do whatever I could to give back..for it is because of people doing Relay before me that I believe I am still here. Those people who gave up their time and worked so hard. So recently, I was growing tired of it...all the work, the effort, trying to STILL sell my cookbooks, raise the money...everything...But all it takes is a look at a picture of my aunts or uncles who have already lost their battle to pictures of my aunt and cousin who have won theirs...to reading the names in the paper in the obituaries or the story last night locally about the little girl who is two and in the hospital fighting this... ALL of them are my reasons to Relay...and it feels good to be vitalized again!
