"Steps" ~ Thank You From a Cancer Survivor

"Steps"
written by survivor Bill Stroup after his last surgery finding that he was for the time being cancer free....

The first steps for you were to become involved, complete the registration form and set a goal.

Your sponsor’s steps were to answer your call for help, write the check and support your cause.

One of the many steps of the event organizers were to collect the donations so that, The “American Cancer Society” could take the steps to distribute the funds to the research centers, hospitals and doctors on the front lines fighting this horrible disease.

This funding enabled researchers who discovered the steps needed to create a drug that killed the cancer cells, so that the doctors and hospitals could take the steps using this drug, along with other necessary procedures that would save my life.

Soon I will see my grandson taking his first steps in this journey we call life.

All because of the steps you took by participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

Thank You from a Cancer Survivor.

I think this pretty much says it all....don't you? A big thank you to Marie McCandless, Team Captain of the M & M Melanoma Warriors team for sharing this and a great big thank you to Bill Stroup for writing it!
