Man- Just got home from work, thought I would check in. Your stories are sending chills throughtout my entire body. I knew this was something I wanted to do, I was hoping it might be something special and hopefully bring some Hope and Honor to those touched by this disease. In this short amount of time, I am even more convicted that this is what I am supposed to do. I had no idea that so many of my friends here would have stories of their own. Reading them and hearing of the successful treatments, gives me hope. May God continue to heal and keep you and yours!!!! Right now, I am raising awareness, but if and when I start "getting in the money", I WILL be donating a portion of my winnings to the CAUSE! I hope that day is soon.
For those of us who have lost loved ones to other forms of cancer; I too have felt deep pain of CANCER. I lost my very best friend and hunting partner to Lymphoma. We talked about going on an all out fully guided Elk Hunt. We had one last turkey hunt planned...he didn't win his fight, losing just 3 days before our hunt. On the morning of that hunt, they were laying him in the ground. I lost my Nephew, who is really more like my Little Brother.... Maybe sometime I will post my eulogy for Sean. He had Non-Hodkins Lymphoma; I made many a fast trip to Oklahoma City while he was losing the battle. Any time he needed or wanted me there...it was 90 mph down the highway. His little boy Parker is the apple of my eye now. Whenever he comes to visit, I have to take him fishing. And just like his Dad, he usually out fishes me!
May we win the battle soon!!!
Dan
