Hi Everyone!

Last time I trained for this event, one especially freezing, windy, long, 7 mile day, I said,

"I might change my mind, but,

I AM NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN"! 

Well...I changed my mind.  I am going to train for the 13.1...again.  Why?  

Because I CAN.  Because I'm Pam, dammit!

And because

CANCER SUCKS-Big Time

If you want to help people living with cancer in our community, I don't think you could find a more worthy place to support than Gilda's Club Nashville. You can be assured that your money goes to support people living with cancer and their friends and families.

I feel very lucky, blessed and fortunate to have survived cancer so far, thanks to chemo, radiation, transplant, Femara, now Faslodex. And also thanks to my wonderful David, faithful family, friends and Gilda's Club. 

On April 7th, it will have been 20 years since I first heard the words "you have cancer".   It has been my great honor, joy and pleasure to meet many wonderful and special friends who also have walked the cancer path with me.  I have had to say goodbye to far too many of them.  So... I am still here.  This walk, for me, is to honor the time I have been given and to remember those who are no longer here to walk beside me.
