It has been an incredible few months.  We have had 3 super successful fundraisers that netted over $20K.  The generosity and support that has been given KM3 astounds me.  I feel so lucky to be part of helping some neat people who need and deserve it.  
A special thank you to my board members who work so hard and help this all come to fruition.  You are the bomb!

So I went today to visit our oncology social worker at my old stomping ground at St. Jude.  It's funny because every time I step in that elevator to go to the 2nd floor Cancer center the scent is the same..  It is not bad by any means...it seems like a mix of cleanser and sanitizer.  So anyway that smell is like a comfort to me.  I feel safe when I smell it and my heart warms.  It's like I have a physical and mental reaction to the smell knowing where the elevator will stop.  A place that holds so many memories for me now.  Some of my favorite people in the world walk that floor.  I have met so many incredible folks patients and medical staff that have forever changed my life.  The 2 men who saved my life are there as are the nurses who have imprinted on my heart.  The people I met in the waiting rooms and in the Chemo lounge are etched into my memory.  Some I might see again in the hallways but others can only be met in our next lives.  I love that place and it feels like perhaps it should be a place where I get nervous and anxiety but I don't for the most part.  I know that while I am in the company of all the amazing people filling the rooms and walking the halls I am safe.  They will save me.  A place that holds the memories of the scariest moments of my life...A place that gave me the key to me finding my strength and led me to discovering my passion.  A place filled exceptional human beings either fighting cancer, curing cancer or supporting all those affected.  Anyways, I am there a lot so I guess its good that I love it for all that it is.
