WE GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS
I was fortunate that my chemo sessions were scheduled when they were because I was able to do the Komen race and the following weekend the American Cancer Society's Making Strides against Breast Cancer walk. This was another early wake up call for the boys and I am pleased to say that I guilted the teenager enough to wake up and come this time. We got up early, got donuts on the way (bribe) and headed over to Kelly's house. The Making Strides walk was downtown and Kelly lives downtown so we didn't have to deal with parking issues. A few weeks before the walk, Kelly and I bought some pink shirts at craft store to decorate for the kids and her to wear. The t-shirt said on the front " I'm in the fight for Beth Foley because....." and on the back said different things. Kelly's said "She is my dear friend" Kevin and Brady's said "she is my mom", but by far the best one was Abigail's it said "because she is my future mother-in-law", this just a little hope that Kelly and I have for Brady and Abby. (he he)
So bright eyed and ready for the walk!!!
After an input of donuts we left for our event. Just like the week before it was a sea of pink and that feeling of being treated like a queen for having breast cancer. We walked around a little before the walk started and I ran into my Oncology nurse Frenchy at the MD Anderson tent. Eventually the walk started and along the route were lots of people cheering us on and handing out water. We were doing great for a long time, but then the kids started to get tired, but we told them to suck it up and carry on.
