To me, the animal Hope is small. Sometimes it has two legs, sometimes not. Sometimes it has hair and sometimes it is bald. It can laugh and cry in the same breath. It doesnt have to talk. Its very presence is enough to change the course of your life. It has a name. It is called a child fighting cancer. Hope is what gets me through the day, its gotten me through over a year of days and nights and tears and frustration. Its all you have when your child is ill, hope and faith. Last year, June 2013 I was surrounded by hope. It was all around me, inside of me, covering me in its light. It was evident in the smiles of the mommas who shaved their heads, in the tears and the glitter that covered bald heads, filling the room in San Antonio till it over flowed. Its why I shave, its why I raise funds and its why I create awareness. Hope in the future, hope for my son, hope for yours. Hope that cancer can be cured in our life time. Hope that children stop dying of this disease. Hope that those who have left us have not gone in vain. I am very excited to be a Momma again this year, to create and spread hope and help raise funds to find cures and better treatment options for children with cancer. In November of 2012 I learnt what true hope was. When I learnt that my then 4 year old son had leukaemia it took every bit of strength I had not to fall to pieces. I had to watch my child go through so many horrific procedures, pain, treatment plans, pokes and prods. Cancer SUCKS and to watch your child deal with it is the most painful thing I have ever had to witness. Everyday I Thank GOD that my child is still alive, still with me. Hope has become my mantra. Join me and all the 46 Mommas as we raise funds and awareness together in the fight against childhood cancers. Help us fund hope!
