Under Construction
Hello Everyone!
So the blog has been a bit quiet lately and there’s good reason for that. We are revamping the blogging site which we’re very excited about. At the moment, things are still under construction so please stay tuned as we put the finishing touches on this project
Have a fun and safe Halloween everyone!

Sharing Hope Instead of Slinging Mud
There's Hope.
Most of us are pretty sick of mudslinging by now, so I was grateful to find some political party warmth in the form of a post by conservative columnist and three-time cancer survivor Robert D. Novak about his current battle with brain cancer. (read the full text of his column by clicking here.)
Novak wants people to know about “the reaction to my disease, mostly compassionate, that belies Washington’s reputation.”
Just a few months ago, doctors operated on senator Ted Kennedy’s brain tumor. Through a series of connections, Novak ended up in contact with one of his political rivals and found that
Novak found equal compassion from President Bush, who had also been the subject of criticism in some of Novak’s columns. He writes.
I wish cancer didn’t have to be the catalyst, but it heartens me to know compassion crosses party lines. I needed that.

Cancer survivor singlespeeds for healing, and encourages others to do same
So, I’m outta shape. I’ve got three kids and not a whole lot of time on my hands, hate gyms, and… oh… a billion other excuses. Looking at this video by 1speeder, I suddenly crave a bike, a pebbled, snow-dusted path, and a meandering afternoon. (Of course, I’d need better leg muscles too, but dream with me please.) 1speeder says his goal is to inspire other cancer survivors to ride, since he credits singlespeeding with helping him through a chemo resistant form of Hodgkins Lymphoma. This video takes place just 95 days after his bone-marrow transplant!
I know many of you are sharing hope on personal blogs and sites like YouTube. Please remember that you can keep the accounts you already have AND upload to SharingHope.tv too. It’s an extra step, but it will bring your inspiring words, photos, and video directly to the people in the cancer community who need the encouragement. If you have any questions, please see the tutorials or comment here.
