This will be August 28. Early detection is the key to a better prognosis, so by having this Awareness day, we can help others. I wish you the best and please stop by my window at the pit office next time you are at the track.

Millissa,
Thanks for letting me know your thoughts. You are very kind. I am also very sorry about your losses. My parents are both gone. My Mom died of breast cancer in 1987 and then my father passed away with a heart attack in 1994. So I feel for you. My parents were literally my best friends and I miss them everyday.
On the other hand I'm excited that Mr. Spiker has decided to have a cancer awareness day on August 28th. What a great gesture. I'm sure he has an awful lot going on, so adding this to his already full plate is awesome.
I have a personal goal of living to see both my kids graduate from high school. That means I need 10 more years. It's a daunting idea, but I believe you have to have goals in life. The other goal I've had is to bring as much awareness to colon cancer as I can. I haven't been doing a great job of it for the past year or two, but Saturday night got me back on track. Uh, so to speak... :2:
If there is anything I can do to help with the 28th, please let me know.
And thanks again, Saturday was a lot of fun.
