Dedicated to Patricia
Today marks the second anniversary of my announcement (to anyone who would listen) that I was running 13.1 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I can’t believe how incredibly brave I was to throw on the cape reserved for heroes and raise over $3,000 for LLS. It’s certainly not the most anyone has ever raised, but as the person who can’t even ask for understanding I impressed myself. Seriously.
Today I’ve imagined myself running for a cancer charity again. Simply because cancer is back in my life. To be honest, it never left. People around me have been announcing their struggles. Everyday it feels like there is another person dealing with it, coping with it, fighting the good fight against it, beating it. Winning. And losing. Yet, I don’t run because I’ve lost my cape, lost my courage. Lost my belief in that good fight.

i still believe. maybe for slightly selfish reasons. but i do. in 87 days i will run 13.1. i raise no money. i do it for no defined cause. but i do it for me. and i do it for you. if you hadn’t dared to don the cape. if you hadn’t faced the obstacle of a disagreeable knee. if it wasn’t for you i wouldn’t be where i am. in 87 days i will run 13.1 and i need my hero to believe in me.
i definitely, undoubtedly, believe in you. I think I passed on the cape… 😉

i’ve ventured into new territory. you can be the first to read.
The last line of this post made me think of the song “losing my religion”. Figures your words would lead me to a song 🙂
