While eating lunch, I turned on the local news channel, airing from a nearby hospital to raise funds to support a Rapid Diagnosis Center for breast cancer. They've been speaking to patients and survivors, some that have had the opportunity to participate in the one-day diagnosis pilot program, and others that had to wait several weeks to find out results. My ears perked, but heart sank even deeper as soon as I heard the word triathlete.
Sharon Ingle appeared on the screen, swimming and triathlon race medals around her neck of races she's won since being diagnosed with breast cancer, while in treatment. WOW. What a phenomenal lady. You can read more about her story here.

Now I'm all choked up!
WOW, all i can say, WOW.
We as a human race are so strong. We must never give up on ourselves, even when faced with such a terrible diagnosis. I can only hope I never hear the "c" word, but if that darkness decides to knock on my door, I'll answer it and get out there to beat it!
