What a great experience yesterday. Jim and I
walked with a couple hundred other kindred spirits to support cancer survivors.
Survivorville was held at the Opryland Hotel and the walk was on the grounds of the hotel. We walked around on the surface roads all around the hotel, following the trail of little orange cones - and the people in front of us.
There were women, men and children of all ages. Cancer knows no socioeconomic boundaries and neither does support. There was lots of storytelling, lots of laughter and many, many smiles. It wasn't exactly one of those ultra-competitive races. We feel like we've already won!!
There were winners
After we finished, we had to go inside the convention center to get the goodie bags. We cold have gone inside and taken the escalator, but instead we chose the stairs
because this is how we really felt. (And by the way, this song was performed by a band named Survivor. Quite appropriate!!)
We got medals for finishing the walk! They have the Survivorville symbol - the cancer ribbon with all the colors.
It was such an uplifting, inspirational time. Thanks to all of you for your love and support!!
