Yes, I know it can be trying for some to have to actually talk about it, but when faced with it, one can not turn away and whisper.<br /><br />I love everything you did for "our" friend Katie. She does not know me personally but her story moves me as I lost my sister to cancer. I can not imagine the terror of living with cancer and not know what next, but yet, friends like you stand up and make a difference. I wanted to thank you for that Jak, deeply and sincerely.<br /><br />Kindly, Peggymarilynprestonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830199792062222545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300732380923459758.post-67051106302829981852011-02-22T14:04:30.972+00:002011-02-22T14:04:30.972+00:00C--A--N--C--E--R................

I also make cards for them too, what they sell on their stalls goes straight back to the patients, whether it be a blanket or wheelchair they need.<br />This gives me great satisfaction.<br />I also make cards when docrafts have their appeal each year, but to be honest, the last time I did this & took them to a cancer research shop, the lady was not at all grateful. So I will stick to the Royal Marsden in future (they treated my Dad).<br /><br />I wish Katie well & look forward to your post with the total raised.<br /><br />hugs sally x<br />sallysbitz.blogspot.comsallysbitz2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15245524189667111080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300732380923459758.post-79871954774657686792011-02-20T10:46:52.350+00:002011-02-20T10:46:52.350+00:00Jak...you have done an amazing thing helping Katie...Jak...you have done an amazing thing helping Katie already with your terrific fund raising.

Well done on all the fund raisin...Good morning Jak,<br />Well done on all the fund raising and all the awareness you have brought to folk with this. I have to agree with Sue about as a retired nurse I remember when no one spoke of it and not even the patient was told until they guessed for their selves!! I have lost so many of my family to cancer most of which I have helped nurse and lived with them through this difficult time. Even when at their side I felt useless as we can't do anything to stop the cancer. All we can do is support them and be there for them and give them hope and the will to fight it. I think you have done an incredible job in your support to Katie and I bet she feels blessed to have a friend like you. No matter what you do, the feeling of helplessness won't go away so don't try to stop accept it as part of the illness...<br />May you have the strength to continue with your support of Katie and may Katie have the strength to continue her battle. May the Dr's be guided to do what is best for Katie and may her family feel the love and support of us all as we gather here to wish them all well....<br />God bless each and everyone who supports those who are sick or dying...<br />Love ~ Lady Anne xlady Anne Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684986048325346082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300732380923459758.post-482494288590796852011-02-20T04:24:59.195+00:002011-02-20T04:24:59.195+00:00Jak, you have been a wonderful help in getting eve...Jak, you have been a wonderful help in getting everyone to reach out to Katie and her family.

For every chemo treatment I sent a card, I spoke to her on skype as often as she felt like and also sent little presents to cheer her up. Recently she said I was her rock through it all, how could that be true as I felt as if I did nothing but I was there for her, I understood her and listened. You have probably done that and much more by raising money, my friend is young too with a daughter and people where treating her different but she could always be herself with me. You have given far more than you will ever know. You should be proud of yourself. xxsuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291346639890133155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300732380923459758.post-40846394807170672332011-02-20T02:03:17.779+00:002011-02-20T02:03:17.779+00:00You are a blessing...and may Katie will be blessed...You are a blessing...and may Katie will be blessed from it and her family!
