Relay for Life

On June 5th I am joining many others in the Relay For Life walk to raise money to find a cure for cancer. I’ve thought long and hard on what to say to you all and I guess it all comes down to this – we’ve all been touched in some way by this terrible disease. We’ve either survived through it ourselves or watched a friend or loved one travel that road. I should have paid more attention to the devastation caused by this disease but like many others tended to pretend it didn’t exist in my world.

It all came crashing down and slapped me in the heart when my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in March of 1996 at the age of 69. I was with her at diagnosis and through the next few months, taking care of her until just after her 70th birthday in July, when she left us with a promise to “save me a seat on the bus.” I will always miss her.

So, please check out my site and help me make a difference.
I hope this link will work:

I hope no one minds that I have sent out emails to some of you.

Thank you.
