Mothers Day Classic

I did the Mother's Day Classic for the first time today.  As someone with advanced breast cancer, I didn't feel annoyed or think that the tribute cards were for people who had died.  I wrote on my tribute card "for all those with ABC" which includes me.  My children had for "My Mummy" and I'm certainly not dead and don't plan on going anywhere for a long time!  We each react differently to different things I guess.  I was just glad I could be there to do the 5km with my family and will plan on going again next year and the year after etc.  I don't think I'd want to wear a different colour placard or anything either - I don't want to stand out, I like that I have ABC  but look just like everyone else - I'd hate to have people pity me - I am LIVING with a chronic illness and that is the way I will always look at it.  OK, enough raving, Happy Mother's Day everyone!!
