This year in June at the start of our trip I will be a 10 year breast cancer survivor. My diagnosis came June 1, 2011. Cancer impacts families with fear, pain and sorrow. Every day I pray for those fighting cancer and for those we have lost. This mission has been so inspiring to me, kayaking with people who are so dedicated to ending cancer. It is also soul searching, many hours on the water to contemplate things. But it is also very enjoyable, many fun times that will not be repeated here, I swore a blood oath. So I thank everyone who donates to this cause, we will beat this disease hopefully soon.
