Lil Mary Elizabeth had a big smile on her face as she raced the last leg with Brian: I was worried about Steve as he looked like he was about to faint as he gave it all he had; Katherine looked so alive and happy with herself as she completed the race with Alex; and as you rounded the turn to the finish line, we all commented on how you run just like your Dad---with determination to finish the race. I was proud to walk with the Finnell team and thank you all for including me in THE RACE. We are all in one, to have the best life we can. I think you are doing a remarkable job with your family.<br />Nobody said it would be easy but it is fun watching them all grow into good human beings. I could not help but be impressed with all the cousins helping Joey--Your Dad would and is so proud of you all.<br />What a great tribute to him this race is---I hope we can do it for many years. Your Mom and I may have to get roller blades, but we will be there with Y'all.<br />Love,<br />AuntieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220138769684010372.post-37620352592940894212010-11-24T16:10:15.487-05:002010-11-24T16:10:15.487-05:00Oh, Lisa...this is so very, very, very beautiful.....Oh, Lisa...this is so very, very, very beautiful...I am crying as I read...thank you!!!

The upcoming move (1 week away) has been consuming me a bit.<br /><br />I loved reading your post and seeing your photos - both of your family of runners - and your father. You will heal one minute, one day, one year at a time. Running will help - and what a wonderful way to do something about this horrible disease.<br /><br />Miss you friend - I hope we can get together before Christmas sometime.ellieshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434901406491353495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220138769684010372.post-55757910585692274562010-11-19T17:11:28.378-05:002010-11-19T17:11:28.378-05:00Beautiful tribute to your father... ;) My mom pas...Beautiful tribute to your father... ;) My mom passed away at 51 of a rare cancer... thus Seizing My day... enjoying life and my loved ones ... because you never know...because there is SO much cancer out there!Seizing My Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245085711105059612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220138769684010372.post-4310658319773069042010-11-19T16:20:41.678-05:002010-11-19T16:20:41.678-05:00I am glad you are keeping this up!

I can't believe over 60% are never smokers and former smokers. It's so sad. I thought you could only get lung cancer if you smoked or lived with smokers. <br /><br />I am sorry for your families lose. Your dad must have been a great man.

I NEVER smoked but have it worse than my husband who is a smoker.<br /><br />FOr 20 years or our 40 years he smoked in my presence until a doctor sent a letter home. No in the house no in any vehicle in which I am riding.<br /><br />He abides by the restrictions and has struggled to stop. It is a terrible addiction.<br /><br />In addition to having had COPD with associated bronchitis, I have asthma, all of which have taxed my heart.<br /><br />Excellent article and hope many read it.

Komen is because of your Dad. I'll never forget him telling me that so much of the medication he was on, came from that source. <br /><br />I'm really proud of you guys and wish I could have been there, too. My mother called to tell me what a wonderful event it was and that Margaret ran her 5K in under 28 minutes. Wow, way to go, Maggie!

I like it :) <br /><br />The reason for low funding is the stigma that comes with Lung Cancer. There is so much more you can find out on the Lung Cancer Alliance Web page. Here is the link...if you would like to know. I also have a button on my blog that will take you to the same link. <br /><br />http://www.lungcanceralliance.org/<br /><br />You can write to our senators and congress demanding FREE chest X-rays just like Free mama grams. . .There is so much to learn and so much to do. AND your right anyway you slice it Cancer STINKS!!!! mostly in our children. <br /><br />Also, since you brought it up...The Susan G. Komen fund funded the research my father was on that kept him alive for 4 years and 3 months. . .not long enough :) but this was better then the 3 months the Drs. originally gave his stage 3B lung cancer . <br /><br />xoxo, LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395804927366343180noreply@blogger.com
