IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY FATHER, CHRIS WATTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dad,
You gave me the tools I needed to fight the fight. I watched as this disease slowly took you and you smiled every day. You made me promise not to be angry with God, you showed me courage, strength, determination and love. Thank you for your guidance...even though you had no idea that I had cancer also. You set the example and showed me that we had cancer, it did NOT have us. I love you daddy!!! Thank you!!!
Your daughter, Anne
I am participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life because I want to make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.
I would like to share my experience with cancer with you, so that you can see how important it is for donations to the cancer society. My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, he was able to live much longer than expected due to care and research that had been done long before his diagnosis. In June 2008 his fight ended. I was there to take part in his care and work along side the doctor's in getting him all the treatment that was available. It became a little more difficult in November 2007 when I was diagnosed the Thyroid cancer. Yet once again due to generous donations and research that was dong long before I was diagnosed, I was able to receive treatment that saved my life and prevented the cancer from spreading.
The courage that my father showed me during his fight was beyond amazing. He kept a positive attitude even after he was told he was terminal. This helped me in my fight and gave me tools that I needed to face this head on and keep a positive attitude. Please join us in our fight to raise money for others so that we can help more people to be survivors.
Cancer has touched just about every person that I have come into contact with on a day to day basis. Please help me to help others get the treatment they need and a second chance at life. By donating, you can make a difference in someone's life.
PLEASE JOIN ME IN SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY!!!
