OK folks. Now is the time. The time to help out and donate towards a very real goal, and a great cause! What is this great cause you ask? Well let me tell you about a little thing that is called the Seattle Brain Cancer Walk:
I participate in this each year, with my dear friends team entitled Heather's Crew. We walk for her and her family. And I walk for my Papa, who died from this disease 10 years ago this July {has it really been that long?}.
While it is a simple walk, and not very physically challenging, it raises a lot of money each year through it's sponsors and the organized teams.
Most teams have a Patient/Survivor, and they get to wear a neon green shirt so that they are recognized in the crowd. And at the end of the walk there is ceremony of sorts. One in which they recognize the most money raised, new advances on drugs, treatments, facilities, etc...The best part is when they call up all of the Patient/Survivors to the stage. {*TEAR*} This is the best part, but also the most emotional.
It shows you that this disease does not discriminate. I have seen children, men, women, older folks, teenagers, you name it, up on that stage. To celebrate their journey's, their accomplishments, and most importantly their courage, is the most humbling thing I have truly every witnessed.
To say that this is a cause deep, and near to my heart, is putting it lightly. So this year, I have decided to start fundraising for Heather's Crew early on. The walk is not until September, but it is never too early to rally the troops, sort-to-speak!
This is a simple fundraiser. But an effective one, considering that each and every penny helps! Here are the details:
