I am making a note to get involved next year in memory of her.

I run a lot of races and I've always had it in the back of my head to run and fundraise for charity, but I've just never done it.

It was hard, but we had a lot of fun and loved connecting with other people, who were all so positive. I've had seven family members pass away from cancer since then and two others that beat it. Cancer sucks.

It changed the face of cancer for me. Every emotion is on display at Relay. 24 hours is tough even though I crawled in my tent for 4 hours sleep. Cancer never sleeps, it does not discriminate and it is a devastating diagnosis. That said Relay showed me people are resilient and will NEVER stop fighting. Take that Cancer. So proud of all you do for Relay.<br />llf1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/16196234993611944142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-84719539729956614922014-06-18T19:31:36.619-04:002014-06-18T19:31:36.619-04:00Cancer is such a horrible thing.

I feel if people are diagnosed in the later stages of life, it is still sad, but a real wake up call to spend time with<br />those who love you, like you kids did with Grandmom. It was a gift. Younger (like around 60 and under) I feel the worst about, especially kids. Their little souls are so innocent. I also strongly believe everything happens for a reason and it is how we react that counts. I know I need to work on many things! I am every second grateful for my good health and that of my loved ones and thank the universe constantly!! Lets all keep sending out positive energy and the lights to the universe to end this disease- especially send to the drug company CEOs who prosper from illness. Proud of you to infinity and beyond, Steph, and Lori, too who has worked tirelessly for Relay.<br />God and Goddess speed to all of us.
