I would love to list off all the things that kept me from posting here regularly, but...no excuses.
Instead, an announcement: The Angel Walk of 2008. Remember this last year? Once again, I am participating in the walk to raise funds for the National Brain Tumor Foundation. This year I've teamed up with a friend who lost her Mother to brain cancer in 1999. You can read our story, and even pledge to our cause if you'd like, here.
In the past several months that I have been absent from this blog much has changed in my life, but nothing has changed my goal to assist the changes being made in research and support towards those affected by cancer. Whether it's brain cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer or [insert anything] cancer, we can do more to support these changes and efforts. One way is to support the Angel Walk!
I don't think I know anyone who has not been touched by cancer one way or another, even though I think I might be envious of the oblivion that comes with non-exposure. At that same time, I would not trade the life experience that cancer has guided me through. Both emotionally, and mentally. It's quite the conundrum. I don't wish cancer on anyone, and yet, when someone is sharing their cancer story with me I also feel like, "they get it." I don't think you can "get it" without being touched by cancer.
So, to all those living with cancer (patients), living by someone with cancer (family, friends and caregivers), living because of someone with cancer (children), and everyone who just wants to make a change, please know you have the respect and support of millions, including little ol' me!
