When I came across the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation and created a team for "Run For The Rose" supporting brain cancer research, I never would have imagined we would have over 50 members on our team, have raised over $6,300, and have ordered over 80 "Team Lar" t-shirts. There are no words to describe my feelings.
The news we received Friday wasn't what I was wanting to hear, but just like Mom told me, "Sometimes God doesn't give us what we want, he gives us what we need", and maybe she's right. The news makes me want to fight even more, fight to be stronger for Dad, fight to be stronger for Mom and fight to bring more awareness to brain cancer.
I honestly can't believe we've raised so much money, money that will go towards research and money to help end cancer. I'm not sure how Dad will react to these next treatments, and I'm not sure where this journey will take us, but what I do know is that I've become part of something bigger than me- I've become part of finding a cure. Dad has so much fight and determination still left in him, fight and determination that tells me Dad will surprise us all!
I continue to pray everyday for Dad, I pray for his strength and determination to impact others, I pray these next round of treatments fight hard against his cancer and I pray for a day that no one has to experience the pain and fear of cancer.
I'm so proud to be part of Dad's journey, proud of who he is and proud of who I've become.
There is still time to join our team, make a donation or order a t-shirt for the "Run For The Rose" 5k. Please help to BTHO Cancer! http://runfortherose.racepartner.com/Run-for-the-rose/bthobraincancer
