You may've noticed that our in our "Our Story" blurb, we mention that " neither of us has a direct personal connection with breast cancer." I've discovered over the past week or so since we announced our decision to participate in the 3-Day that we were wrong. So many people have approached me and told me a story about how they walked, or how a friend walked, or how someone they know has survived breast cancer. Or has NOT. I realize that this gives me a sure and definite "direct personal connection." I'm pleased and proud to be participating in this event, and I'm glad that it is opening my eyes to just how many people have been affected by breast cancer.
There is a quote that pervades life here at VTS, and it comes from William Sparrow, former Dean. It asks us to "seek the truth come whence it may, cost what it will." I'm grateful to the truth many of you have shared with me and I'm grateful to the Susan G. Komen foundation, through which the truth about breast cancer is shared with the world.
