What A Moving Event!

Well I participated in my first Relay for Life event on March 11th. I had no idea how moving it would be for me. I'm only an 8 month survivor and getting an opportunity to meet other cancer survivors was very therapeutic and motivating for me.

Chatting with other Ovarian Cancer survivors was good for all of us to find out we experienced some of the same issues with chemotherapy and survived it with either a new hairdo or hair color; different attitute towards "time and money" and the reminder to never take one single day for granted.

Thanks to all my friends and family for donating over $200.00 to my friend Gloria Longin's Relay for Life Campaign. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated by the American Cancer Society.

And to top off the day, I won a drawing that was sponsored by the Northwest Tampa Optimist Club - A 4-day, 3-night weekend in Orlando with 2 tickets to DisneyWorld. Life is good!
