It's that time of year again, the leaves are turning, triathlons are winding down, and Lori and I are asking for donations to for the Women's Cancer Resource Center "Swim a mile". Our nickname is 'lori' if you want to help us out again this year by donation to this very worthy cause.
This one hits home for Lori and I as we both lost our moms to cancer. Every year we get to raise money to help this organization get the word out about cancer prevention. It's fun to swim the mile. But it's also fun to give our mom's name so that they are memorialized when we finish. As well as painting on a flag little mementos of our moms that we honor.
I do a lot of events every year; runs, swims, triathlons. But this particular swim is the most important to me. Not because it's the hardest. But because I'm doing something practical, if small, to help move the ball forward in this fight against cancer. It took my mom. Hopefully this will help in some way to ensure that all of us are one step closer to beating cancer and saving all of our lives.
