Greetings my fellow relay junkies!

Seems like forever since I've been on here!  It was a rough summer, in so many ways.....our relay got hit by a nasty storm, which only slowed us down for a short time, then back on the track we went......a few weeks after relay, I lost my friend and fellow survivor, who was our Honorary Chair this year, after her brave 6 year battle with cancer....I continued with my own treatments all summer, while my dad fought his brain cancer battle.  One week after my last dose of chemo (finally!!) dad lost his battle, the night before my daughters 16th birthday.......It has been tough to accept that he is gone....he fought so hard and was so brave......but I guess that just makes me want to fight harder to find a cure....for all cancers!!!

On a much happier note, i get a break from the chemo for 6 months and will only have to do a small dose, as a maintenance type thing.  It's the easiest drug for me to do, so that is a plus.......I'm going to co-chair our relay this year with my friend and fellow survivor (and my rock!!) Barb, who is the most awesome woman I have ever met.   We'll be getting the ball rolling soon to get our relay together and try to build it back up again.   We've got our work cut out for us, but we have some great ideas and I know she'll give a 150% to putting a great relay together!~

Health and happiness to all!!!                  Cin
