Brain Tumor Walk!

A few weeks ago my mother-in-law, Jim, Sean and I participated in the Fort Worth/Dallas Brain Tumor Society “Race for the Cure”!  We were a part of “Team MelCor,'” which is named after my good friend Melinda Wells, and her husband Corey.  The Lord brought Melinda and I together three years ago, and her faith has been a living testimony to me and everyone that knows her.  We are so thankful that Melinda is now cancer free, after lots of radiation and three surgeries. I was so thrilled to have raised $625 for our team in such a short amount of time.  I was definitely overwhelmed with gratitude for all the donations my dear friends and family gave on my behalf.  It was truly amazing being a part of something that is so near and dear to my heart!  We all enjoyed it so much, that we plan on making it an annual family event each year!

Sean was ready to roll!!!

I walked for a dear co-worker Elia, that pass away last year from and brain tumor, Jill, which is my boss in Houston’s cousin.  Mary McGill, is my hygiene patient I just met this year, that had the exact same tumor I have removed 40 years ago.  She has been such an encouragement to me.  God is good!
