Dear Friends and Family,
Just wanted to check in and let everyone know that things are going well. I attended my first meeting for the Distinguished Women of CanCare. I met many wonderful ladies that are cancer survivors. The group is facilitated by the director of program services at CareCare. The group will meet once a month. I also have been attending the LIVESTRONG Program at the YMCA twice a week. The program is for cancer survivors and helps us regain strength through exercise.
The Komen Race For A Cure was held on Saturday, January 27th. About 5,000 people attended the event, despite the weather. It rained before and after the race. The team War on our Rack consisted of about 25 of us. I had a great time and I was very thankful that my family and friends participated. My two friends that are survivors were on the team as well. My survivor friend and I finished the race by walking the “Survivor Path” together.
My Cancerversary was on February 2nd (Ground Hog Day). It is hard to believe how much my life has changed from a year ago and all that I have been through. Looking back, I realize how lucky I am to have such an amazing support system!
Anchored in HOPE,
JW
