It’s gonna be a great one.

Uncategorized 1 Minute
We gathered in the parking lot at State Farm Corporate South in Bloomington. Top fundraising teams had tents. The largest tent houses the Circle of Hope for survivors and those living with metastatic breast cancer. They offered a complimentary breakfast and door prizes.
I won a beautiful hand-knit hat and gift cards to The Olive Bin and Spice Works, both amazing local businesses.
Our emcee was Susan Saunders, the morning radio personality at WBNQ radio in Bloomington.
The Pathways of Hope/Survivor Parade started the event with survivors and those of us living with metastatic breast cancer walking, united, into the Opening Ceremony.
We walked a mile around the State Farm Lake.
Oh what a beautiful morning!
I met new friends today.
Christy and I were interviewed by a Peoria television station.

I did not meet anyone with metastatic breast cancer but I met many long term early stage survivors. I find MBC to be a lonely journey, simply because most of us do not live long. Within the MBC community I have experienced the same divisiveness that pervades our nation. But today, on a Saturday in Bloomington, my faith in humanity was restored and so I begin again.
