I've mentioned in my first posting (http://apeltour.blogspot.com/2010/09/purpose-of-this-project-goal.html) that my mission is to raise money for cancer research through the Jimmy V foundation. Unfortunately various family members have battled cancer over a period of many years, including my father, uncle and mother-in-law. All of them have beaten cancer as a result of improvements in treatment, better detection methods and the prayers of others. I truly believe one day we will find a cure and the money donated will pave the way to make that happen.
Recently my uncle was diagnosed with brain cancer and will begin battling cancer for the 2nd time. You can follow his progress at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/winapel. This recent development only brings to light how quickly lives can change as a result of cancer and the impact it can have on the individual, family members and friends. We welcome your thoughts and prayers.
My mission is to simply raise awareness and to do my small part to someday find a cure.
