Raising the most beautiful girls in the world…
Avon walk for breast cancer…inspirational.
My long-time friend Cameron recently completed a 40 mile walk for breast cancer to raise money and awareness. She has a new blog and wrote such a sweet, inspiring post about her experience. I am sure we all know people within our lives who are fighting the battle with cancer. Just within my own close circle I have a friend (my age) who has already had a complete mastectomy due to rare and aggressive breast cancer. She is now facing a battle with melanoma. My previous center director, committee member, and friend is facing a battle with pancreatic cancer, and close friends of my family recently lost their 21 year old daughter to a metastatic brain tumor. You don’t have to look far to realize that when you are healthy, you are so truly blessed. So, hop over to Cameron’s page and take a read. It will make you so grateful for your health and perhaps if you are like me, it will remind you the next time the crazy traffic, or whiney kids or rude waiter is making you nuts…that everything is really OK, you really are so lucky, and these little things don’t amount to anything at all.
