Perhaps you were watching baseball in mid-May and noticed that some of the players were using pink bats.
Now what could THAT be all about??
Well, some major leaguers volunteered to swing pink Louisville Sluggers in order to bring the public awareness of breast cancer.
And I’m not going to swing a pink bat, but I am doing my little bit to accomplish the same thing. Today’s FamilyFirst site is called Beating Breast Cancer. It’s the true-life account of Marjory Cameron, who was diagnosed with the disease in April 2006. Here’s the site’s mission:
This website is aimed at all those who are dealing with breast cancer – either themselves or in their family or friendship circle. We hope that some of what you’ll find here will ease your path or lessen your worries about breast cancer treatment. The views expressed here are our own. We are from medical and nursing backgrounds but are by no means specialists in breast cancer or in breast cancer treatment. We can only tell you what we’ve gone through and what we’ve learned along the way.
This is cutting-edge stuff. I mean, it takes real courage to put these very personal experiences online so soon after having the bad news delivered to you. The authors give you details about what is involved in taking on this hated scourge. The goal (which I believe they will reach) is to show you what it takes to whip it.
So read this brand-new (but already well-populated) blog and remember, there’s someone in Scotland who could use a little prayer action.
