Well blogger friends I don't know where you are but, where I live it is storming pretty crazy. We have gotten 12 inches of rain in 4 days. Now the wind is picking up. So I am staying in today planning my week. I got to thinking and I have decided to start a relay team for relay for life. I am going to ask my employer if I can use our business to help promote the team. I love walking anyway and what better a way to get exercise than to combine a charitable contribution with exercise. Like so many cancer has affected my friends and family, including several people I work with. Two years ago we lost a co-worker to mouth cancer which spread to his sinuses, after a seven year battle. A year ago a co-worker lost his wife to appendix cancer. While another co-worker's wife is fighting against breast cancer right now. Unfortunately, this nasty illness is no stranger to my family either. My husband lost his mom after fighting breast cancer for twenty four, yes twenty four years. She was first diagnosed when he was three and a half years old. She went into remission for fourteen years before it came back. The brave woman fought to stay alive for another ten years before she passed. Additionally, my cousin fought breast cancer almost six years ago and is now in remission. This is why I feel the need to support this cause. What better a way than to rally up good friends and co-workers to share in this fight. This is one of the ways I am going to give back this year. I hope you find your cause and pay it forward.
Happy Sunday!
