I am not giving up another one, if I can help it
In the last several years, I have lost a lot of relatives. My aunt, my mom's sister, passed away after an 8 year fight with cancer.
I hate feeling powerless to do anything to help - to alleviate the pain from the disease and the treatments. To know what to say to someone who knows they are going to die. I have friends now who are struggling with cancer. My sister, mother and myself all know that it is a strong possibility in our futures. Ultimately, I know that the only way to any power I can have with this is to fight it early.
The Weekend to End Breast Cancer is a two-day, 60-kilometre walk through the neighbourhoods of Toronto. Proceeds benefit Princess Margaret Hospital, funding important breast cancer research, education, services and care. I did this walk last year and I am participating again this coming fall. I have to try to do something. To avoid that powerlessness again, even if just by flinging my passion for life into the teeth of a disease that takes so much. The only way I know how - body, mind & soul.
If you're inclined to help me by sponsoring me, you can get a copy of the donation form here, or you can go here to donate online.
I know times are tough and I appreciate you considering this.
Thanks.
