| Megan is a (muddy) fundraising warrior in gorgeous Yolo County! |
As an optimist, silver linings can be found everywhere - even in cancer.... I suppose that one of the most obvious positives in our initiation into the cancer club is our heightened awareness and support of cancer research. Relay for Life and St. Jude resonate much more personally these days. Last April, I visited Jonathan at Tech for a profoundly moving Relay for Life that seemed to mark an affirmation of my return to work and readiness for our move to California. Yesterday, Megan's Warrior Dash Fundraiser not only provided a welcome distraction from this long wait for my latest scan results but also marked Megan's passing the $2000 mark in her fundraising efforts this year. Thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who donated! Megan ran up hills, hoisted herself over walls, and slogged through mud to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. Her proud mom soaked up the ambiance if not the sun (I staked a spot in a scarce corner of shade) until I went on camera duty when Megan emerged from the fire pit jump and dove into the mud pit. As a top fundraiser, St. Jude gifted Megan with a public hose down followed by a private portable shower :)
