So much to do now . . .

Another 9:50pm post (in other words, still thinking of things late at night).  This time with good reason, however.  I'm working on the actual Relay for Life committee this year and we had our first meeting for comittee chairs last night.  I'm actually really excited to be in on the whole process from the beginning, albeit a little daunted by the proposed $30K in corporate sponsorship that I'm supposed to come up with between now and April.  For those out there reading my blog who are making this same journey either as a patient or as a caregiver, I URGE you to reach out to others through volunteer work.  In our small community, there are no brain-cancer specific events, I wish there were.  For that reason, I chose to work with American Cancer Society and have found that meeting other survivors and caregivers really has helped keep me in check and focus on things beyond my own illness.  It is a truly rewarding experience made all the more sweet by the money our small community has been raising for ACS.  Almost all communities have a Relay for Life....you can call American Cancer Society to find one near you....:-)
