Sometimes I think I am crazy.  I participated in relay last year as the captain of our team and have signed up to chair the event this year.  Have I totally lost my mind?? 

No I think that I can do this as long as I keep in mind the reason that we are doing this to begin with.  I have never had cancer but my father has.  I feel like he dodged a major bullet simply because they caught it early, operated and got it all without any further treatment.  We were so blessed.  But I want to be one less.  One less person diagnosed with it. 

One less.  One less!!  If we keep raising money then it will be 2 less, then 3 less, etc. etc..

I want my grandaughter to be able to say, "Cancer?  What's that?".  And I want to be able to answer her with, "Don't worry about it baby, it's just something people used to get sick from, but not anymore".  Wouldn't that be wonderful?

In the mean time, I will keep raising money and celebrating, remembering, and fighting back!!!
