Time to Fly

Recently I sent an email out inviting friends and family to join me in the Children's Cancer Research Fund "Time to Fly" charity run/walk on June 26th. My involvement with Children's is somewhat recent so I felt it necessary to explain why I've chosen to support them.

As we know, most supporters of a disease cause do so because their lives have somehow been impacted by that illness. Maybe a loved one was lost, someone they care about is faced with the challenge of surviving it, or they, themselves are fighting for their chance to live despite their disease.

Those of you know know me, know that Children's Cancer is not something I have personally been challenged with and that is the very reason I am in support of finding a cure. I can look at Myah and breathe easy because her body is not riddled with cancer cells making her sick. I can take her crazy bushy hair for granted because she is not losing it. I can watch her sleep in the comfort of her own bed and not worry if this might be the last time I see her in peaceful dreams of the future. I can... simply, I can.

I support Children's Cancer Research on behalf of not only the kids, but their parents; their, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who cannot. They cannot afford to take even a moment for granted.

So if you can, I'd like to invite you to join us too. Come celebrate with us- for we have so much to be thankful for.

Our team name is "Social Butterflies" to commemorate the lovely award CCRF bestowed to me last month. You are welcome to join my team here:
