A Courageous Story

I heard a story today about a courageous woman who got breast cancer while 6 months pregnant with her 2nd child. It was aggressive and forced her into treating the cancer or else she might not be around to see her child grow up. She had her surgery and 2 rounds of chemo while pregnant. Both her and her child are doing well, and now she counsels women in similar circumstances. What a hero.

This Year's Race Date

After my last post, I went to the NW Ohio Komen Foundation Race page and was pleasantly surprised to see that they have updated the site with this year's race information. It will be on Sunday, Sept 17th. They recommended checking back in June for more info. Time to go mark the calendar.

Encouraging Words

I met someone today who became a runner by training for the local Race for the Cure last year. SHe is still exercising and encouraged me to continue. She recommended the Couch to 5K training program that I am already using as the tool that helped her. I stepped up my training to step 2 on the program today, and while it was more challenging, I felt ready for it. It is seeming more and more doable. Just gotta stick with it. Her words were very encouraging.

Hitting Home Hard

We just found out this week that my sister-in-law was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. We are going to try to help her as best as we can from here and go to where she lives if needed. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She's got some more tests coming up, but we expect her treatment to start soon after that. She's 30 years old and has 3 small children. Too young for any of this.
