Everett Relay for Life
May 22, 2010This morning the girls and I headed to join our friends at the Everett Relay for Life. Our friends will be doing the hard work of walking off and on all day and night. But me, I had the privilege to opening the event along with several other cancer survivors by participating in the Survivor’s Walk. I was very touched to receive a medal for being a 10 year survivor. But what deeply touched me was when the girls and I walked our lap while everyone else stood on the sidelines clapping and cheering us on. We and countless other loved ones are what they had trained and raised money for.
Thank you to all who continue to support me through my survivorship. I have no idea if and when I will have to fight the beast again but I know that I have been blessed to have enjoyed these past 10 years in good health. The money raised for Relay for Life and other organizations like The Leukemia Lymphoma Society have helped to contribute raising money to fund research to give us a cure.
Our friends, Branda & Theresa with Katelyn & Emily
