Remembering Dave Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I just watched a piece on The Today Show about a camp called First Descents somewhere around Vail CO. It is a Kayaking camp for kid cancer survivors. I started crying thinking about these kids fighting this disease. I am 39 years old and consider myself very young to have to fight the fight but at least I have realized some of my dreams and done things in my life that I have always wanted to do. These kids are not even old enough to have dreams for the most part. My sister has worked for the National Childrens Cancer Foundation ( NCCF ) in LA CA as one of the head fund raisers for many years but I never realized what that organization was truely about until I saw this piece this morning on these kids. Even having cancer myself now I have not thought about these little children who have to fight cancer also. If I could do anything to save these kids I feel I would definitely do it. I feel like I am rambling but if you ever have a chance to donate to the NCCF ( or any other kid cancer support/research organization) of your money or your time I urge you to do so for these kids really deserve to live a life. If any of you have any questions about helping out with NCCF let me know and I will get you in touch with my sister. David C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 It reminds me of the old saying, "I complained I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judysdaughter Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I'm with Don. It's always a good reminder when you're sad to see people who are less fortunate. When I would get upset when I was a kid, mom would say at least you have your arms and legs (odd, I know but it worked). Thanks for sharing.
