Purplestride

Today my family and participated in the Purplestride DFW 5k.  PANCAN (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network) puts on this event to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer research.  This organization is very close to my heart....we lost my mother in law to Pancreatic Cancer 3 years ago.  It is such a fast and deadly cancer.  It scares me.  My MIL was diagnosed on October 29th (I only remember that because it is the day after my birthday and is my father in law's birthday) and passed away on January 2nd.  2 months.  That's all she had.  See what I mean....scary.  We miss her so much.  Little N talks about her lots even though I'm not sure he really remembers her (he was only 3 1/2 when she passed away).  He knows that his Granny is in heaven and that she is his special angel.  I was so honored to be a part of Purplestride this year.  There were quite a few survivors there, which is odd since there aren't many survivors of this cancer AT ALL!  A few pics.....

I'm so glad that I got to spend the morning with people that I love!  And with people who feel as strong about fighting this horrible disease as I do.  We miss you Sherry and we know you were there with us today!
