As many of you may remember last year I participated in the City of Hope event, Hike 4 Hope. It was a very rewarding experience for me and I have signed up for it again this year. It happens to fall on my mother's birthday, March 6th, so her and I were will be doing it together as her birthday present, I cannot think of a better way to spend her day.
As with many it is a cause dear to my heart. I know this hike is geared towards woman cancer research, but I have had many family members and friends effected by this horrible disease. My grandfather passed away of brain cancer, his brother of lung cancer, my great-grandmother of breast cancer, a few aunts on both my father's and mother's side, and have had a close family friend recently overcame colon cancer. Sadly this is just to name a few I know who have been effected. I have dedicated my hike this year to Sue Kent as she is the most recent victim in my family to cancer. But I am doing it for all my family and friends who are/have been effected.
I hope you all can help me out by donating to my personal fundraising page for the hike. Remember, anything helps!
