Luckily I was able to find the information on the lung cancer walk and I signed up. This year I will be participating in the Labrecque Lungevity Run As One Walk. The Run As One Walk has been going on for eleven years. What I like about the event is you can either run or walk. So everyone is able to participate for a good cause. I'm not a runner, so I chose to do the walk. I'll be walking with my boyfriend who has lost his grandfather over 20 years ago and with my mother. I was surprised when my mom volunteered to do the walk with us. She's not big into sports, but since this one hits home she decided to join the cause.
Ever since my step father passed away I knew that I would do everything I could to promote awareness on lung cancer and help the fight to find a cure. It hasn't even been a year yet since my step father passed away. It'll only be a year in July. I think doing the walk plays a big part of the healing process. I visit him every other week and even when I'm at the cemetery I still can't believe he's gone. I haven't accepted the fact that all I have of him are memories whether good or bad.
This is very personal to me and I'd like to raise as much as I can for a great cause. I'd like to ask everyone who reads this to donate whatever you can for this cause. Every little bit helps a great lot.
