Cancer June 12, 2008

One more plea for donations to my team Pop-pop’s Peeps for the Relay For Life (I made my first one back in January) American Cancer Society fundraiser this Friday and Satuday. Here’s our link: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/poppopspeeps . It’s hard to ask people to put out money and get nothing in return. The thing I have learned about cancer, after having added a couple names earlier this year and then 3 more names recently to our inspiration list (names are listed at our donation site) is that cancer is frighteningly random. Every time I turn around I hear it has struck another person I know directly. You could be next-I could be next. So I ask for donations, in any increment because every little dollar counts. I ask for you, for me, for everyone. I am not just asking beacause I am honoring people who have passed on because of cancer or for current cancer patients but for future patients too (really in hopes of avoiding more future patients.) We never know who will be struck next. I also ask you keep all cancer patients and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for even considering the cause and make sure you get your mammograms and colonoscopies and check ups etc etc. All that unpleasant stuff can mean such a big difference in fighting cancer.
