Saturday was the 11th annual
Komen Suncoast Race For The Cure.
Komen Suncoast Race For The Cure.
I walk every year to celebrate my Aunt Beth.
She was first diagnosed almost 20 years ago.
She's had more rounds of chemo than I can even remember.
When they removed the tumor on her spine,
they told her she might never walk again.
She did.
They told her should would NEVER be able to conceive a baby.
Liam Matthew was born on November 24, 2003.
When they did a PET Scan last year
her body was riddled with tumors.
When they did a PET Scan last month, they were virtually gone!
THAT is why I walk EVERY YEAR!!!!

This year I walked with my best friend Rachel, her beautiful 2 year old daughter and a bunch of her "mama friends".
Talk about odd man out ~ I was the only one not pushing a stroller :o(
Me & Rachel
The "mom's" made these cute t-shirts for all the kids!
On a completely separate, and much more depressing note,
today I've been logged in for 37 months
37 months closer to my dream!

Your Aunt Beth sounds like an amazing woman and a total survivor!
I hope you will be walking with your stroller soon.
What an awesome reason to walk. And soon you'll have a stroller. Keep the faith.
What a motivator - your aunt sounds like a special, special woman. My momma is also a breast cancer survivor - 16 years this spring. And you'll have a stroller soon. Hang in there!
