Virtual Wine Run 5k
Finding things to do these days is tough. It’s all about being innovative! Our neighborhood has had bear hunts, sidewalk chalkings, and Easter egg hunts. The other day there was even a Jeep and golf cart parade. It’s been great catching up on some stuff I’ve been neglecting and taking walks and drives around town, […]

Merry Christmas!
Brad and I had a great holiday spent with family. We were spoiled rotten, as usual, and indulged in some delicious food. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting these past few weeks. As we near the end of every year, I think we all spend a little time reflecting. Maybe more so this time […]

Seasons Greetings
I’ve wanted to pop in and say hello for a while and kept forgetting. Thank you, chemo, for the short-term memory loss. And, you know, for still being alive and all that. I have so much to update! I’m still cancer-free. YaY! I’ve been to my oncologist, gynecologist, and my breast surgeon for regular exams […]

A little bit of inspiration
Hello! I’ve got a lotta little going on at the moment. Brad and I designed a few t-shirts. Some are for the upcoming American Cancer Society’s Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk and others are just for general cancer badassery. You can find them through the website www.freedomroadink.com. Proceeds from the shirts will go to […]

Hello, hello! Presently, I’m sitting in the backseat of my car while me, Brad, and his brother, Jeff, head to Charlotte for a concert. We’re going to see Breaking Benjamin (can’t resist one of their concerts if it’s within a 200 mile radius), Chevelle, Three Days Grace, Diamante, and Dorothy at the PNC Music Pavilion. […]

Anniversaries, Relay For Life, Cancer Sucks, and Maybe More
It was kind of hard to come up with a title for this post…can you tell? Just lots to update on! May 10th will be one year cancer-free for me! I kind of had that “ah-ha moment” yesterday, where I suddenly realized it’s May and I had my mastectomy in May so it was almost […]

Golf Tournament Recap
I’ve needed some time to chill, process, and get back to my regular routine after the tournament, but I’ve been wanting to post a recap of the event. First of all, everyone was SO generous. My expectations for our first event were exceeded in both players and dollars. The tournament had a profit of around […]

Learn more about our relay…
I apologize in advance if you follow both blogs…this will be a duplicate post. I didn’t know much about the Relay For Life event and what it symbolizes before I joined. I just wanted to do something more because I’m sick of cancer. When I read about it, I realized it’s actually pretty amazing and […]

Looking for stories!
I mentioned in previous posts that I have a plan to do some fundraising activities for the Relay for Life (American Cancer Society) under the team name More Than Ribbons. Well, More Than Ribbons has a website and a blog (morethanribbons.org)! It’s a work in progress, but things are starting to get organized and I’m […]

Relay for Life
So I’ve decided to do a thing and join my local Relay for Life event which is organized by the American Cancer Society. I’m going to work on some fancy and cool fundraising ideas over the next 150 some odd days until the event, so stay tuned! And, of course, if you’d like to join […]
