TEAMNANNY'S CAPTAIN ISAAC
2008 - "Youngster reveals his determination" Isaac's story in the Montreal Gazette
OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT! 


WE ALL KNOW SOMEBODY AFFECTED BY THIS DISEASE! CANCER HAS ALREADY TAKEN TOO MANY TOO SOON!

My story has been pretty transparent.
In January 2006 I was diagnosed with stage IIIC Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma (UPSC): a rare and highly malignant form of endometrial edenocarcinoma cancer with a very dismal prognosis.  I remember the whole time wondering just how bad this was when everyone treating me was in hazmat suits, protecting themselves from the poison they were administering to me to kill my cancer cells....... EXCEPT the treatment did not only kill my cancer cells, it caused a chain reaction that has left me as a double amputee with damage to my stomach and colon..... 
I continue to fight the collateral damage of cancer treatments every single day.  But I am still alive to make a difference! 
TOO MANY OF YOUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS RAN OUT OF TIME!  
Through these heartbreaks we should be inspired to honor those we have lost and those warriors still fighting by our volunteer work and fundraising efforts!  

(An explanation on our event name! I cannot do the traditional 'run' 'walk' 'bike' 'swim' because of the way I am (double above knee amputee).  So we are having an all inclusive family event.  The map of the route is provided above.   Participants can choose to run it, walk it, bike it, skateboard, jog with baby stroller, or use a wheelchair! Whatever ability, there will be something for everyone!)  Supporters of TEAMNANNY that are out of town can still support us by joining our team and do their own race their way on May 10th  or by making their donation to our efforts on our team page!

No more losses to cancer – 

no one should suffer alone and YOU can make a difference!

My friend and fellow LIVESTRONG leader LOUAY, from Cairo-Egypt pulling me the rest of the tribute walk in Austin Texas last week when the heat took it's toll on my fragile lungs...


No more losses to cancer! 
 YOU can make a difference in a cancer patients life today!

Unity is Strength
Knowledge is Power

Attitude is Everything

JOIN US ON MAY 10TH!
