I don’t walk well, but here goes.
The Dennis-Yarmouth Relay for Life will be held June 18-19 at D-Y High. Maureen came home from school and told me about the school relay “Team Special K” named in honor of Kim Oliver an eight grade science teacher who passed away after a battle with Breast Cancer.
Maureen told me she was volunteering to walk so I thought it would be great to support her efforts and will join her in the Relay. Even though I love to ride my bike, I really hate to walk and don’t do well. Maureen’s gonna kick my butt!
During her high school years Amanda walked with friends, later I found out that one of the reasons she did was because of my earlier diagnosis of Melanoma. She never made a big deal of it.. just did it.
Well fast forward. I’m now Stage IV and fortunate to be in medical trial that seems to be working. Last year I couldn’t walk to get out of my way. This year I feel more like a 20 year old.
The Melanoma Foundation of New England is my favorite Melanoma charity, and I’ll work hard with whatever time I have left for them, but I would like to ask you to consider a small donation the American Cancer Society in memory of Kim.
