I joined TNT for the purpose of giving Cancer a kick in the pants. Alone, I know that my efforts do not add up to much, but together the money raised will hopefully make a difference. I did not seek out the specific “flavor” of Cancer which took my husband. I chose the organization which has one of the biggest efforts in fighting the fight.
On days such as yesterday, when I am feeling ho-hum about my training, it is important to remember why I chose to train differently this time around. It only takes a little time to know that this is what matters most. This morning, I was given a new perspective.
I read our honoree’s update moments ago, and my cheeks are still moist from the tears. We are told that although he is still lymphoma-free, he will now begin fighting a new flavor of Cancer.
I wish there was a way to rid the world of this devastating disease. I seems to be metastasizing all over the world.
Please pray, send well wishes and good karma to our dear honoree.
There’s a lot of trouble in the world, Juls, and I love that it moves you and you do something about it. No matter how small a contribution feels, your tears and your time and your commitment all add up and I know your honoree will appreciate each and every one. I know I read this and I appreciate you.
Juls,
It’s good for all of us to be reminded that life is fragile and that others are fighting hard to live. Your post did that for me today – thanks.
