we didn't get on a team due to the girls but have friends walking and helped out a little with them, but will be joining in next year if all is still good with us, and life stays happy and healthy.
Alex went in for the survivors walk and I went as her carer both Hubby and Robyn joined us in this walk :)
we then stayed for afternoon tea. I have put up my hand for the Queensland Cancer Council to volunteer where needed ( not Childhood cancer but still helps in other ways) Pink Ribbon day is the first one I will be doing this year :) I did help in 2009 with Alex while she was still on treatment.
♥♥♥ Photo's from Today and still smiling ♥♥♥
we met a girl dressed as a nurse at the shopping center she is doing the relay too
Alex ready for the survivors walk with the working wonders Bravery Beads and her best friends Robyn her sister and Elliot her Dog from Childhood Cancer Associations SA
today was a great day and so many looked up to Alex as a survivor and even High five'd her on the walk Thumbs up People this is a small gain in Childhood cancer awareness for us but a big gain for others to see Cancer effects all no matter what your age race or if you are male of female it will hit some one we all know.
the storms held of with no rain so far and hope they hold of all night for those walking and we have friends walking tonight and in the morning, Alex enjoyed some sweets which I was told will be calorie free as requested in prayers lol, ♥ but well today was not about Diets or anything but about helping the right people find that elusive cure for ALL CANCER!!!
we did see the mayor but he didn't see us this year and that is no issue as he opened the afternoon well
our run of bad luck I hope has ended I hope, as we had it since July, first the fridge stop working we got this fixed with tax money, then the washing machine died which we also used tax return to buy a new one :) then our second Computer died just as I start Studying and need the access, but we can get by with laptop etc so no big deal :) then this week the dishwasher started to play up, looks like the water pump or hose so will be checking that out this weekend and hope its an easy fix, the dishwasher is 7 years old and done well so no complaints here either just me venting it all out, the car had issues but thanks to the great mechanic's we actually saved in the end :) and the Harley, she is getting old and needs some work but she is still going and we have started doing all that needs doing, she will be like a new bike with her heart and soul that makes her REN (Serenity as Hubby calls her)
All this is nothing on what we have been through and can be replaced with time and savings :) the best thing is we are still a family standing together and still have our daughters in our life, Alex is growing into a beautiful young Lady with good morals and love for others,
these photo's are from last years relay for life
