Keep Believing: RIP Norman Wu

One of the most influential people in my life was a young lady by the name of Kate McCook.  She was one of my very best friends and she lost her struggle to cancer in her early twenties.  No matter the amount of pain she endured, she always had faith and a smile across her face.  Whenever the circumstances around me seem unbearable, I pray for Kate's strength.


This year, my neighborhood and I joined together to raise money for cancer research and participated in the Livestrong Marathon.  The interest was sparked when a young doctor, Norman Wu, was diagnosed with lung cancer.  At difficult times like these, questions arise and then the support of others start rushing in.  Dr. Wu lost his battle with cancer last week and neighbors, friends, and family all came together to support their family.  It was truly inspirational.

This year I hope others around me will join my cause to raise money for cancer research.  Ask yourself: who are you fighting for and who has changed your life for the better?  During times of hardship, the courage and support of others around you will help you believe and provide the faith you need to continue fighting.  If you are interested in participating in your first event this year or would like to change your entire lifestyle, please let me know.  I would love to help.
