A really cool pkg just got here.

I just got the coolest thing in the mail. It was from the Lance Armstrong Foundation, sent to me from my lovely sister and brother-in-law ash and sean (mere's sis and thier fam). It's a really cool folder that is a Survivorship Notebook. Being the design nerd that I am, I also must note here, that it's a very nicely designed. Anyway, inside it's a 3 ring binder w/ diff sections like "survivorship tools", "suvivorship topics" and "survivorship stories". All really cool, pertinent info for those trying to live with this (and did I mention nicely designed?). I have a feeling this thing is really gonna be a MAJOR resource for me getting thru this. I mean major. And, the pkg has a cool exercise shirt and hat w/ "LIVESTRONG" on them, and of course the requisite yellow wrist bands. I remember so vividly when Lance was competeing in the Tour and everyone was buying these bands up like crazy (hell, I bought some). I remember hearing folks ragging on other folks for wearing them and jumping on the bandwagon. well, guess what? Ain't no bandwagon here, people. I've got about 10 of them, and I'm proudly wearing one...because I'm a survivor and I"m choosing the LIVE STRONG for the remainder of my life. If any of you want one of these bands, come over and grab one. If you don't live here (I know that's most of you), then go to Lances' foundation site and donate $ for cancer research and get some bands!

We are so glad you like it! I feel helpless here in Atlanta after being with you both during the surgery. I'm so thankful for this blog and all of the updates. Your love, strength, and support for each other through this inspire and amaze me! I have more faith than I can express to you that you will conquer this. I am certain! You are both so strong and you radiate light, positivity, and joy. You have tons of positive energy and prayers coming to you from ATL.
