We are happy to report that I am now 8 years cancer-free! My family and I do not take it for granted, but are fortunate each day of life! Part of our continuance of cancer awareness is now setting up a Relay For Life information booth at the concerts in the park provided by the City Of Dana Point every sunday during the summer, free to the community. The city's way of also giving back! We are able to continue with fundraising as well as being a visual presence year round!
May 2009, I was honored to share my story in a "Relay For Life" resource guide that has been distributed throughout approx. 20 Orange County Relay For Life events! In the article it mentioned the KC CREW and how we have worked so hard for The American Cancer Society and kidney cancer awareness.
I am also happy to report that The American Cancer Society magazine titled "CURE", provided to cancer patients, and survivors has just included a 7 page report on 5 new kidney cancer treatments that have recently been approved by the FDA. And are showing success rates! This was unheard of just 5 years ago! There is hope.
To share in our joy, you are welcomed to comment as "annonymous" without creating an account!
Celebrate life!
