We’ve all known someone with cancer. Those who won the battle, those still fighting, and those who’s race ran short.
October is Breast Cancer awareness month. America turns pink. We raise money for the cause. It’s probably the biggest fundraising campaign that has ever been ran for to fight a disease. Why? Because its boobs. They’re soft. They’re life giving. They feed babies and make them grow. Most men and some women will tell you that they’re also great to look at.
I’ll take the campaign. I’ll help raise the money. It goes to more than just breast cancer. The money helps all cancer patients. It could help with funding research & development of new treatments. It could come in the form of opening and funding a Hope Lodge. I’ve stayed at one with a friend who was fighting cancer. Its a respite. A place to help heal. Not everyone lives as close to treatment centers like I do. Hope Lodge provides a place for patients and their caregivers a place to rest while traveling for treatment.
Some cancer treatments take away a person’s hair. Their complexion. Their appetite . All that can return when they finish treatment. Their breast(s), on the other hand, will never come back. Unless they want to go through more surgery. Think about that. What females are taught that make them inherently a woman, just taken away. It’s a painful process.
With that in mind, I’m walking a 5K to help raise money for this cause. $5. $10. It doesn’t matter. I even got the pot going by putting $100 of my own money in because I believe in the cause. If you can’t donate, I understand. Prices on everything has gotten out of control. Please share. Maybe someone else will donate. Maybe they’ll sign up to walk themselves. Thank you & God bless.
