So this past Sunday, November 16, the Half Fund (in conjunction with Get U Moving Fitness) held its second annual Movember 5K.  The first year, we were beyond blessed with 72 degree weather.  This year… …it snowed. We learned quickly that this type of thing tends to dampen the attendance at a 5K.  And it [...]

Do you know Brittany Maynard? You should. She is the woman whose story has gone viral, especially in the right-to-die community of which, admittedly, I am not a member.

So the last time I wrote a blog, it was a simple little list of things that I would have done differently through my own battle with cancer. Leave it to the kids at Stupid Cancer to take that list and turn it on its ear. Next thing you know, literally hundreds and hundreds of people talked about [...]
