It was not until I read an email from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation on Friday, that I realized today -- June 1, 2014 -- is "National Cancer Survivors Day".
Ironically, today is also the day I will run my second 10 km race. Every June 1, in our little desert town, Ashcroft hosts "Skip's Run Along the River" -- a charity run to honour a long-time resident and Lions member who passed away after a long battle with cancer. I'm running today because Skip can no longer run. I'm running today because I'm alive, and I can!
Celebrate life today ...
- if you're a survivor ... you are not a victim, you made it! Congratulations! Treasure every moment!
- if you know a survivor ... congratulate them, encourage them, say you're proud of them! Trust me, they need it!
The more you celebrate life, the more there is to celebrate in life.
ENJOY!!
