ROCK PAPER OR SCISSORS: Rock
I started this as a reaction to my friend Francesca's FB post. Francesca was saying that she wasn't going to be able to make the run this year (a run she has run in years prior as this is a cause near and dear to her heart) now that she's moved out to the west coast. I don't think i even opened the link to Team Stupid cancer- I just knew that I needed to do this in her honor, as I admire her incredibly for everything she has overcome in the last 6 years. Her strength and perserverance alone I don't think I could ever come close to matching had it been me that was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer as a new mom just WEEKS after getting a clean bill of health from her PCP after a physical. Anyway now that I've made the committment I couldn't be more excited to be a part of something larger than just running a marathon to challenge myself. I have always "wondered" about a more charitable life other then giving the normal yearly donations to this and that. I am beginning to understand that so much about goodness in life is connected to giving of oneself. Whether it be physically, monitarily in anyway the sharing of oneself with another who is less fortunate is what I want to do more of. Refocusing from what I can do for me and my family to what can I do to help another person and their family. These are the things in life we HAVE to make time for. I used to say I was busy all the time-its amazing how much time you can find for something once you realize how impactful it can be..
Francesca-thank you my friend for guiding me here-I am forever grateful. xxx
