Moving Towards A Cure: Miles For Hope

On Friday the 20th, my family, friends and I took off to Clearwater for the Miles for Hope run/walk for Brain Cancer. If you follow this blog, you know that my dad has brain cancer and we have had a pretty long and hard 4 years. Over the summer we found out that the cancer was back in form of 2 tumors. In August he went through cyberknife (still waiting to find out if it worked or not). Instead of sitting on our arses I decided I wanted to do something which led to this 5k.

CHANA!



While taking a tour of the hotel we found this sucker in the pool. Gross!

Shuffle Saturday: My Baby You

Shuffle Saturdays is hosted by the girls at Pretty In Fiction, where you post a random song each week. This is awesome for me because I'm known as the human ipod.

This week I chose "My Baby You by Marc Anthony." My dad and I are big Marc Anthony fans. When we first heard this song my dad had that face like "oh this is our song". The reason I chose this though is because today I am running a 5k for Brain Cancer. My dad has been fighting brain cancer for 4 years now.



Do you have a special song with your Dad?

You don't have to actually craft anything to "be inspired". Show something you maybe have done, want to try, or even a cool looking book nook or library. Whatever inspires you!



On the 21st I will be running a 5k for brain cancer. My dad has been in this battle since Sept 11, 2009. Recently we found out that it came back and has spread so I decided to do something even though it is just to make me feel like I am doing something. Well I have made a team and I want to give everyone something as a reminder and thanks for joining/supporting us. These are some things that I thought might be cool to make:
