We Tri'd For The Cure!

(by my sweet mama)
On August the 5th I had the sweet privilege to participate in a Tri for the Cure race with my twenty-nine year old  daughter. My daughter is an awesome woman and one I am very proud to call my friend. She participated in this race last year and was so moved by the survivors that she encouraged (told) me we are going to do this together next year.  I am fifty-six years old and  have been cancer free for 3 1/2 years. Like most survivors I work very hard at staying healthy and enjoying every moment God gives me, however I have never been "athletic" so this was a daunting challenge. But looking in my daughters face, I NEVER doubted I could do this. She coached and encouraged me to victory.  She never left my side and her words of encouragement kept me going when I wanted to quit. This has inspired me to dream bigger and live larger.
Doing this alone would have been a triumph, but doing it with my girl by my side was GLORIOUS!  You have set the bar high. Can't wait to see what is next.
