Cancer?
Has Cancer affected your life?
It has affected mine repeatedly...
Are you a survivor? Family member a survivor? Are you a widow, or have you lost a family member?
I've lost a Grandmother - lung cancer, have a surviving (strong, fighting) Aunt - brain & lung cancer, and have an awesome Mom that's a surviving breast cancer patient. That's just the women in my family...
-Kim Stansel, my mother's younger sister, in regards to their youngest sister - my Aunt Kally; still fighting brain and lung cancer now for two years straight!!
-Angela Filippone, my breast cancer surviving mother!
My Mother: Happy to be alive; fighting Cancer:
Clockwise from left: My Mother, Aunt Kim, and Aunt Kally:
The question is, what are you going to do about it? What are you willing to do in order to fight the battle? I know what I'm doing...
I'm taking part in a fund-raiser, through my school (St. Pete College) and our International Honor's Society (Phi Theta Kappa; Alpha Zeta Tau) in order to help raise funds for the fight against cancer!
On March 28th and 29th I'll be partaking in a 24-hour walk; symbolic in nature because we are acknowledging that Cancer NEVER SLEEPS... Nor shall we on this very day! We will have one member of our fund raising committee on the track at all times through the course of this event.
Our quest is to raise $10,000 for the American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life" - A Team Event to Fight Cancer! Are you able to help? A penny, a quarter, a dollar - or a hundred dollars. I'm able to provide receipts for those that need it for tax purposes (businesses and personal), and am also able to accept PayPal for those that don't want to meet up.
If you've been impacted by Cancer - at some point or another - and if you're interested in supporting the fight... Please donate to the cause!
PM Me, Email Me (MiDiablo03@Aol.Com), Call Me (727-455-7734 Cell; Lv Msg if no answer), whatever you're most comfortable with. My PayPal is the same address as my email account (if sending via P/P please know that there is a charge for accepting the funds and also mark as "Relay For Life Donation" in the title field).

Thanks,

"Dear family and friends,
I wanted to share the most recent information with all of you.... and call on everyone to pray really, really long and hard.... put Kally on all the prayer lists you can..... and ask God to take away her fears and worries, and give her the strength and fortitude to do whatever she needs to do... the doctors at MD Anderson called Kally tonight to inform her that after reviewing her films further, they have discovered two more tumors, now bringing the total to six...
While this number exceeds their protocol for the gamma knife, typically, they have decided to proceed with the gamma knife surgery anyways in two weeks to target the largest of the tumors.... the plan is to have her return two weeks later to evaluate the 'targetability' of the remaining lesions...... they have cautioned her that one of the lesions is very near the 'optic chiasm' and they are unsure if they will be able to treat that one successfully without the possibility of damage to her vision....how scary this must have sounded to her!!!
I realize that her options seem limited... but I do find some measure of comfort in knowing that she still HAS options!!! I have reassured her that this may be a setback.... but we will do whatever has to be done.... and she has the love, support, and prayers of each and every one of you (us)!!! I ask that you also pray God will guide the doctors in this treatment plan and that Kally feel His love, and know peace and comfort throughout the next weeks..... I humbly ask for strength, and guidance for myself to be all that she needs of me....."

"April 12, 2008 will be the 3-year anniversary of my diagnosis of breast cancer. I was 44 years old, with no history whatsoever in my family. I went through a mastectomy and chemotherapy, and May 20, 2008 (surgery date) will be the 3-year anniversary of being cancer free!!!! The road was not always easy, but with the loving thoughts and prayers of family and friends I made it through it. My son and my husband were my biggest champions - even shaving their heads to show unity when I lost my hair."

And for those of you that don't get into the For $ale Forum often... I'm selling off some parts that I've got just stored in the garage in an effort to raise some money for myself to be able to donate:

My grandfather is my hero. He had Ephazemia(sp?) throat cancer, skin cancer, colon cancer, and eye cancer. His first cancer was throat and they said he probably wasnt going to make it. He lived for another 10 year and another 3 different types of cancer. I never once herd him complain or just want to give up. He was always fighing to live to the day he died. A few months after he died I got a tatto for him.5 clouds for 5 things that he overcame and the sun rays for all the times he got better.

$hawn/Mike - thanks guys! I truly believe that it's these things that we endure that make us stronger, and better overall as a person, friend, lover, etc. So I'll take these trials and tribulations, and do my best to overcome them!
FYI - N2S has raised over $40 already for the cause. TR members are slackin'
You're not going to let N2S out-rep you guys, are you?
