My Birthday Wish


I am participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life because I want to make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.

One in every three people will have to fight cancer during their lifetime. What kind of odds are those? Before I was diagnosed I thought that only the older generations got cancer. The older you were, the higher your risk would be.  It was the luck of the draw, and if you got it you fought it. If not you recognized that being able to watch your grandchildren play out in the grass was truly by the grace of God himself.

Today when I think about cancer I recognize the young lives that are compromised with such a difficult disease. My generation. My friends. Erin, Lauren, Cassandra. It's unreal; their strength, their determination, their perseverance.   They fight every day both physically and mentally, hoping that one day there will be a cure and they can resume a normal life. Until then these grandparents, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, babies… are working far more than a 9-5PM.

It’s invisible, this cancer stuff. There’s visible evidence - hair loss, gray skin, sickness – but no visible cancer. That’s true. But there’s something more obvious we should be all looking at: Cancer. CAN-cer. The very root of the word that gives us so much despair is filled with hope. It’s filled with strength, determination and perseverance.

We can conquer this illness together, simply by donating a few dollars to the American Cancer Society. This money not only goes towards treatment for current patients but also further research. I would love for everyone to be around and walk the track, but in donating, you’ve become part of the team – a team with goals, killing cancerous cells with every step. We walk to remember, to fight, and to celebrate. We walk to make a difference.

Please join my team or make a donation to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together, we can change the odds.

Every penny counts! Bless you all.
