Day Twenty-five of...98 Days

The snow is falling and just wreaking havoc on so many places. Some cities are getting a mere dusting while other cities at a standstill with blizzard conditions.  Airlines cancelling flights, people stranded and it's interesting to see how different people are handling it. Many are going to the stores stocking up as though they will never leave the house for a while.  Then there are those fearless ones playing in the snow building snowmen or putting on the skis and heading out soaking it all up.

But it's that initial shock of how is this going to disrupt the routine the life what a pain.  It's winter after all and snow is inevitable and yes somewhat of an inconvenience. It is just snow and it will melt and Spring will be here before you know it and the grass will be green again and the flowers blooming.

I wish it was all that easy for those who received the initial news when someone you love just heard they have  leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if it all could melt away and the sun would be shining and they could live their life again as normal like it was a just a storm or blizzard that blew in and then it was gone.

That is what we are working towards with this campaign to raise money and fund research to find a cure.  If we are successful in these fund-raising efforts with the progress that is being made with research that is the goal...the diagnosis comes in like the winter weather disrupts life a little and with therapy and a cure melts it away and that loved one is on to greener pastures living their life to its fullest.
