Dry July

Last night, phones around the country went red hot with texts and calls confirming the worst news. A wonderful friend of ours has been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's only grade one, but it's still the big C just the same. And what makes it worse, is that around five years ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia which she so bravely fought and won.
I never know what to say in these situations. It sux. No four letter word can describe how unfair it is. Why? Would be the biggest question. Isn't once more than enough for a thirty something woman to take.
So I got to thinking, what can I do to help? It's not like I can take her medication or treatments for her, but having seen an article about Dry July on the tv a few nights back, ironically, just yesterday I had looked at the website to see what it was all about. That's all I did. I looked. That was until this morning. I have bitten the bullet and decided I'll sign up in hope of even raising a few hundred dollars to be donated to Auckland Hospital for the home comforts of adults living with cancer.
The Bloke thinks there'll be days where I go out of my mind - thanks for the vote of confidence dear! It's not like I drink every day, but it is a habit on a Saturday say, to have a wine and a few snacks late in the afternoon, and occasionally on say a Thursday or Friday, a friend and I will have a glass later in the day while our kids hang out.
I hope that some of my lovely Kidspot friends will step up and help me by donating to this worthy cause, a cause which has touched almost everyone in some way at some point in their lives.
