Caregiving in Action!
Here in Central Indiana most communities have had or are about to have their Relays for Life, a 24 hour event held in behalf of the work done by the American Cancer Society. I hope you have taken time to participate in a Relay for Life. None of us know if or when cancer might have a direct impact on our life. Personally, I know the effects of cancer in my own family and weekly I encounter people who are dealing with the chaos of cancer.
This week we've focused on caregiving. I hope that you would consider participation in a Relay for Life as a way that you can practice caregiving in a concentrated 24 hour time frame, a time frame filled with exercise, joy, tears, celebration, grief and hope; hope that, by making a strong commitment to caregiving in action, cancers of every kind will have a cure.
To all of you who have spent time in Relays for Life this year, let me personally say THANK YOU! To you who will take this challenge as something to integrate into your 2009 commitments, GOD BLESS YOU!
Caregiving in Action, that is the opportunity we have before us!
