FIFTH-THIRD RIVER BANK RUN
I am excited to share with you upcoming events gathered around my "THINK PINK" motto. This Saturday (May 11) a few of my family members will be walking a 5K event through the Fifth-Third Annual River Bank Run http://www.53riverbankrun.com/event-information.php. We will joyfully be walking in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. This walk is stroller and pet friendly which means Deacon will be joining us!
RELAY FOR LIFE
On May 17 and 18 many family and friends have joined my team "THINK PINK" through Relay For Life via the American Cancer Society. We have a booth for our event at http://www.relayforlife.org/getinvolved/findanevent/app/findanevent.aspx?searchQuery=comstock+park+mi&resultsPerPage=25&x=42&y=11 called "Pamper Yourself Pink"! This is going to be a fun and exciting time to celebrate being a cancer survivor. Along with the Relay is a Survivor Dinner and I have been ask to be the Host Speaker. I am extremely happy to have this honor and to share my story with all the other cancer survivors attending. There are five other cancer survivors from my team alone who will join me at this dinner!
Once again, I would like to express my 'thanks' to all who donated to the cause on my behalf. Currently, I am the personal LEAD donator at $1070!! A HUGE THANKS to my out-of-state family. If you feel so inclined to offer a donation, the event is still open and I would gratefully appreciate your participation.
I will post pictures of the event, our team and the festivities. Stay tuned! Here are pictures of the shirts my boss designed for our team "THINK PINK". I love them! And it has my favorite Bible verse on the back. Thank you Ethan!
In honor of my "THINK PINK" motto, my hair has gone PINK! I personally love it and might just have to keep it PINK after the Relay for Life event.
On a personal note, I am feeling GREAT! My energy has been restored and my medication is treating me well. My side effects have subsided and my sleepless nights have significantly dropped. I suppose you wonder, 'doesn't she ever have a bad day? Things can't be so rosy'. I am digging deep to find something that is not so rosy, but I have nothing to contribute.
