I just found out that our Jackie is doing the UH Relay for Life in honor of her mom and Lily. I don't know why I haven't learned to keep tissues by the computer. Thank you Jackie- you are an angel! This is an especially hard month for Jackie, as it marks the 4 year anniversary of her mom's death from Pancreatic Cancer. She has already raised over $1000 for the American Cancer Society.
I am honored to know Jackie and am so grateful that she has been a part of our family during this tough time. I know that being around cancer after living through it can be extraordinarily tough- we cherish all you do for us Jackie! The race is Saturday- so there is still plenty of time to make a donation!

Jackie, You rock! Thanks. As a Grandma all I can say is thank you and that I can't imagine that your Mom wouldn't be proud!!!! Love Roberta
ReplyDeleteLily-I looked at Jackie's website and was elated to see you and Pooh in the hats I knitted! Jackie and the thousands of others who run these races keep the research going. Jackie is such a wonderful friend for honoring you along with her mother. I raised $2,000 for Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure last fall. I have been invited to join the Komen Board in Chicago to continue to work against cancer. I chose Susan G. Komen because adrenal cancer often originates in breast, according to the research I've done. I am proud to be working with MassMutual who donates huge sums annually for cancer research. It also provides life and disability insurance to breast cancer survivors. We want to knock this out for you, Lily, and all the boys and girls, moms and dads and families, who are affected by cancer. Love you - Grandma
ReplyDeleteGo Jackie go! Thank you Jackie for running, raising money, honoring your mom and Lily, and for just being there and doing all you do for our friends. Those of us who are so far away and feeling helpless think you are awesome!!!!!!
