On October 24th, Brad and I will participate in our 30th Komen for the Cure’s “More Than Pink” Race to honor of some of the bravest women and men we know, our dearest friends and all of those fighting the daily battle against cancer in one form or another. Personally, we remain extremely thankful and feel blessed that my own journey had a benign outcome.  While we are grateful to have had so many friends celebrate years of survival, we mourn the loss of others.  This continues to serve as a painful reminder that there are brave warriors dying from this dreaded disease every day and it has strengthened our resolve to “keep fighting the fight.” 

On a personal level, I would also encourage you to reach out to those friends around you going through scans, biopsies, surgeries, and treatment during this time.  I am grateful for those who supported me and checked in through my journey. You can show your support to someone in the middle of this battle either by phone, card, text, or email.  I assure you that your support does not go unnoticed.  You may not be able to visit or drop by with dinner but just letting them know that they and their families are thought of and prayed for may lift a spirit just when it is needed the most.

Thank you for supporting these courageous warriors.
