Relay for Life

Good Evening!!
Tonight marks the Eve of Relay for Life at UNC Charlotte! I am really excited for this event for many reasons, 1- all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society (ACS), 2- I am proud to say that I'm a cancer survivor, and 3-It's a good time! This year is even more exciting though. Today, the Rep from ACS was contacted by the baseball team @ UNCC and they wanted a survivor to throw out the first pitch. I was asked to do this and so tomorrow night I get to throw out the first pitch at the 49ers baseball game! I'm really excited about this opportunity! I get to stand up and say I'm a SURVIVOR!!! You know its a great sense of accomplishment I think!
I will be sure to post pictures and all that stuff probably monday. AS I have a busy weekend of hw and papers ahead of me after Relay! Til then have a wonderful weekend and remember those who have fought the battle of cancer whether they've won or lost!!!!

cancer thoughts

Good day! I have been reading several blogs and websites that are so negative towards cancer over all and even more so towards young people who have cancer. This has been leaving me very bothered. I'm not sure exactly why but I do have some thoughts on that. I think it is because I have been through the disease and I am now a survivor! I was at no time bitter towards the disease or towards the doctor who diagnosed it, I was actually very grateful towards the dr. because if he wouldn't of acted so quickly I could of quite possible died that night. There were times I didn't like what I was going through, but beng a Christian I knew there was a reason I was going through this trial in my life. AT first glance my judgement would be these people aren't Christians, but its quite possible they are and they could be bitter or i'm not sure what else it could be. So my guess is why do people view cancer as such a negative thing, yes it is a bad thing but you can't be bitter towards the disease or hate that you have cancer. I believe that if you feel this way then you are going to have a hard time overcoming all you are about to be going through. It is hard enough to go through cancer with a positive attitude much less a negative one. Well I'm sure all those thoughts were very random, but what do you think?
