This past weekend I met an amazing young mother – Diana. This vivacious 28 year-old used to run 5 miles a day and chase her daughter around the house. But due to a Stage IV Lymphoma found on her spinal cord, Diana is now in a wheelchair. And though she told me she’s hopeful that one day medical advances will get her out of the chair, she followed that up immediately with a big grin and exclaimed, “But I’m alive!” Diana is currently in remission and maintains an amazing zest for life and an overriding joy that she’s here to be a mother to her daughter.
Stories like this are why I joined TNT for the Rock n Roll Half. It’s 13.1 miles to keep families together to enjoy those milestones so many of us take for granted. It’s 13.1 miles to keep friends in each other’s lives. It’s 13.1 miles towards finding a cure!
You can help support patients like Diana by clicking the bad on the right of this page to donate, and/or by shopping the auction starting Amy 25th on facebook. Items have generously been donated by these wonderful shops, and I’m adding more each day! I cannot thank the women behind these shops enough. Please stop by their facebook pages through the links below to see more from each artist!
