I have a great family…
As I think I have mentioned once or twice, next week is the Atlanta Purple Stride event in Atlanta. My brother and nieces are coming down to walk with me, but not all of my family is able to make the trek. This morning, my mother called me to tell me that she (and my sister and another niece) had just finished the Purple Stride event in Philadelphia. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that my family (even those who cannot join me in Atlanta) care enough to take the extra step (pun intended) to do their part to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer.
From the bottom of my heart; THANK YOU!
Regarding my health, I continue to do fairly well. The biggest issue I am dealing with is keeping my weight up (for those who’ve known me since before 2001, did you ever think THAT would be a problem for me??) and getting fatigued easily. Hey, if that’s the worst I have to deal with, I’m okay with that!!
BTW, if you are wondering if there is still time to donate to my fund raising efforts for next week’s walk, the answer is yes. Just go to: http://pancan.kintera.org/purplestrideatlanta10/merle to do so.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
