My fear is pancreatic cancer. The purple Ribbon. When I was diagnosed. There were only two possibilities. Ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer. I prayed , pleaded. Please God not pancreatic cancer. It’s extremely painful, no cure, no hope , it’s never caught early. It’s the other silent killer. When I was given the news 2017 that I had ovarian cancer. We cheered, high fived. So Thankful! I’ll take it and will endure whatever I need to endure. Anything but my fear. Today I’m blessed!!!! I’m not in pain ...I know my journey is terminal and I surrender my cancer everyday. You never know when it’s your time. Recently , pancreatic cancer Will take the life of someone from our extended family. I wanted to face my fear and show my support by being part of a walk to raise research money. Winston and I suited up! Bring attention to the cause! Wear a hat for our extended family member. Do the walk. Join the cause!!! With my super hero Winston. We made our appearance. Hopefully one day we get testing to detect cancer early. During the walk I was honored to see Denise Elder one of my Vaiil Resorts team family members. Years ago 2005 she lost her brother to PC and started this walk. It gave me hope and my fear subsided. Sometimes facing our fears and surrendering to a higher power makes our day a bit easier. To all the people in my life. Who love me unconditionally. I’m not afraid but reminded with God all things are possible. Love Never fails and Happiness is a Choice. I’m blessed to be part of a new trial and I’ll know in December how it’s working I can and I will! I’m still here. It’s a miracle. I was reminded it takes a Village and with Denise on the sideline I cried , gave hugs and took a photo with her. What a surprise!! Winston and I completed the walk. The cold air is hard for me to breath in but I had hope. I thought during my walk we all have fears. Accept your fear and accept it! You might be surprised who’s waiting along the sideline cheering you to victory. God bless you Denise Elder & family for your dedication and hard work for the purple ribbon. I’m not afraid anymore. Thank you !Remember for all diseases. Be proactive for your health:
Early detection is key and the money raised at this walk gives every dollar to research. I believe and will pay it forward and help support the purple ribbon. I’m forever a teal thriver and respect the purple warriors .
Pay it Forward
