There are so many sad diseases that abound in this world. Some, take the lives of people we know and love much to early, others just cause pain and discomfort. They limit the enjoyment everyone has the right to feel in their lifetime. It's a sad fact that many of us know people that have been affected and that is unlikely to change in our lifetimes. But, that's what they said about polio and chickenpox, and now young children are vaccinated for both!
I believe it takes courage to put yourself out there and be counted as one of the few who stand up for something, who fight for something you believe in. I also feel that when someone stands up, when they fight, we should support them. All too often we, living our busy lives, forget that we too can be affected by a sudden illness that will forever change our lives, and those around us. I never thought about cervical cancer a single day, until I had to sit there receiving radiation. Now, I contribute every chance I get. I now have to worry about breast cancer after my grandmothers mastectomy a few years ago, so I now support that.
I believe that we always want to do more, we have the most amazing intentions, but life just seems to run away with us.
Adams cousin is biking for MS. He doesn't need to raise thousands of dollars in fact his goal is $300.00 yet he's only managed to raise 15.00 of it. I know, I know, money is tight foe everyone, believe me!! We understand that completely! But, if you could just one time in the next few weeks, skip the morning coffee or the desert at dinner, and give $2.00 or even $5.00 for this wonderful cause.
Chris, is a wonderful person with a truly gold heart. He is not doing this for a pat on the back, or because the money is going into his secret vacation account. He truly is doing this because he believes in it.
Anyway, I just wanted to pass along the information to those who may be able to help.
Have a great day,
Dana & Adam
