On Sunday, Oct. 23, I will be participating in a Light the Night walk benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I will keep a link to my fundraising page on the right side of this site until the walk is over. I would appreciate any support 🙂
I have to thank my mother-in-law for all her support through all of this. She is the one organizing this Light the Night team. She is the team captain. She named our team the Cowchip Crusaders. Why cowchip? Well my father-in-law has used that name for me rather than my Polish surname 🙂
When my hair started falling out after my first round of chemo and I shaved my head, a number of my male family and friends shaved their heads too. BUT my mother-in-law also shaved her head. Very impressive. One Sunday a number of them, including my mother-in-law, came and visited me in the hospital right after they had shaved their heads. That kind of support or just show of people thinking and caring about you was amazing. Getting teary eyed just writing this and remembering.
By the way, all the comments on this blog by “Katy”? That is my mother-in-law 🙂 Thank you for all of your great support Katy!
