The Underwear Affair

15991.gif In just a few more days, Steve and I will be running with our team at Vancouver's Underwear Affair.  This is especially personal for me, as I have recently had my own issues with a cancer below the waist (as you can read in this post).

The support that we have received from our friends and colleagues around the world has been truly phenomenal.  I cannot even begin to describe how incredibly emotional all the messages of support have been for me.  Every so often Steve will look over at me while I'm working and see tears streaming down my face.  He doesn't ask anymore, he know it was a message from one of you.

And it's not just your emotional support (although that means the world to us both), but it also the financial support that you have given to this cause.  We have shattered our target of $5000 and with 9 days to go, I know that we can raise even more money for this cause.   

Let's be honest - cancer sucks.  It really, really sucks.  And to have a cancer like mine or any of the others that occur below the waist is made harder by the fact that no one likes to talk about that region of the body.  So, please, if you can give even just $10 to help fund the research that is much needed for these cancers to be understood, found earlier, and treated successfully, please click on this link and give to Team Bebb.

I love that you guys are being proactive in helping your community. my mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer which is very sad, but I feel inspired to see the big picture and see what I can do to help the cancer community. thanks for that, best of luck.
