This year I am doing a Great Strides walk for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research on October 11. It will be the week before my mother's transplant and my family is doing this together. I started a team called, of course, Cancer Sucks. Please visit the Cancer Sucks Team Page if you can donate to our team (our goal is $2000 as a team) or if you want to walk with us sign up to do so as well! The more the merrier!! Our team already is at 9% of our goal and I know we can reach it. This walk is in conjunction with the Pampered Chef's cancer fundraising campaign Help Whip Cancer so many of my fellow Pampered Chef Independent Consultants will be walking as well.
While this is not the type of cancer my mother has, I have a cousin who found out the same day as mom was diagnosed that she has breast cancer. She has had surgery and so far has a clean bill of health. My aunt is a 30 year breast cancer survivor. I wish there was a walk to raise funds for multiple myeloma, maybe there will be in the future. But for now this is something our family can do and I hope you can help me with this cause. Thank you all.

You are awesome Steph. Thanks for your call. It seriously was what I needed that day, even though I didn't get to talk to you.
I love the name of your team. CANCER DOES SUCK. And lately, I want to add that life sucks too. When will this crappy disease end? Your mom is in my thoughts.
