Laura is Laura


Laura just completed her second of seven weeks of radiation. Though it seemed a surprise to me when she told me it was going to take place, she said her doctors had discussed it early on in this HUGE process.

The effects of the radiation are cumulative, she has been told. So, the first week or so mostly affected her schedule. At the end of this week, however, she was experiencing tiredness.

Her treatment interferes with a trip she had planned during her spring break to go to New York. But, it's NOT going to interfere with trips she has planned to go to Lisa's and Emily's graduations!

Please continue to pray for my brave, tough, GoFightWinnin' sister! She has a lot on her plate. As Clif said, though, "She's the strongest person I know." It's been a rough few years, but she's gonna come out on top! I know it! 'Cause Laura is Laura!

GoFightWin! is at it again!


In October, team GoFightWin! is gonna fight cancer again with the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. So far, our team consists of Laura, Angel, Jennie and me. We'd love to have you join us. If that's not an option for you right now, we'd love to have you contribute to either one of goals. Each of us is required to raise $2300 in order to walk. Go to http://www.the3day.org. Click "donate" and then search for our team (GoFightWin!). Then you can click on any of our names to make a contribution.

For those of you who may not know, the 3-Day is a three day (duh!), 60 mile walk to help support the cause of finding a cure for breast cancer. Laura, Angel and I did it last year. It was an amazing event. (You can find photos in the October blog entry.)

Both Laura and Angel have been fighting the fight for over a year. It's not an easy fight, but they've both fought with grace and perseverance. Makes me proud to know 'em!

Please consider supporting our team.

Thank you.
