Postcards from the edge
Found the following in our comment-inbox this afternoon...
Dear Robyn;Just a note of encouragement for your goals. I am a survivor who thanks you from the bottom of my heart for what you do and have been doing. Don't let small minded, petty, imbecilic people get to you.
I walk the Breast Cancer 3 Day and the Komen Race in Minneapolis. I know the level of commitment it takes to devote yourself to this cause.
Wish I had thought of it first. But here's one you might want to play with... in a conversation with another survivor- who has had reconstruction (I haven't)- we debated which of us would have the best chance at a wet tee shirt contest. As we batted the idea around, we quickly realised that we could do some serious fundraising around this. And a fundraiser was born. There are five survivors on my team. I am the only one who hasn't had reconstruction. We are now seeking other 3 Day teams that want to share in the fun.
People have to understand that Breast Cancer is about BREASTS! Don't really much care if you like the subject matter or not- that's what it is. We can only cure it if we can say the words.
My thanks again for your awesome work!
"We can only cure it if we can say the words." I couldn't have said it better myself!
Less than six hours to go now for this year's event. DONATE!
