Hi Lyn11 congrats on your walk. Thankyou for sharing that gentlemans story and honouring his wife, Joy;.Like Donna I was very moved and I am so glad you were there for him on Sunday.
I also did the MDC 4km walk in a large, beautiful and historic park in western Sydney - it was so moving. I could not believe how many people were there - so many shades of pink everywhere! So many wearing notes and names dedicating their walks to those who are going through their journey, survived or who were no longer here.
As I walked under the starting point I shed a tear of pride and I was filled with such hope - so many walking to find a cure. My husband, daughter and her fiance were walking beside me wearing shirts made by my daughter with a poem she wrote:
She is braver than she thinks and still her courage grows
Today I walk beside (my wife, my mum and ML) because she is stronger than she knows
I seriously didn't know if I would make the distance as attention to fitness and eating well, are new concepts that I am introducing to my body since my diagnosis. We were finished within the hour, I was so totally propelled by the positivity of thousands. After I crossed the finishing line - I really thought 'I can get through the next part of my journey'.
Today I got a phone call from the oncology CNC to say they want to start my chemo this Friday.
