Sharing my personal connection to the cause

On Saturday I shared with the team my very personal connection to the cause. In a matter of minutes, which seemed much longer, I told my story beginning with the day Sonny (my late husband) and I discovered his lump, then learning one week later it was cancer. I spoke of the nearly 8 years of on and off treatments, CT scans, MRIs, bone marrow tests, chemo, radiation, ER visits, and finally of the last chance at hope - a bone-marrow transplant……which sadly wasn’t successful….and ultimately his death on Jan. 7, 2003. Each time I tell my story, it’s difficult, but I know it serves a greater purpose, to inspire others, to train, to fundraise, to find a cure! My emotions on Saturday, came to the surface, which I didn’t expect, but I know it’s ok. GO TEAM!!
