Lisa Nieme-Swayze Is a Purple Godess - She Keeps Patricks Fight Alive - I can Relate to That!

http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_22351071/lisa-niemi-swayze-pancreatic-cancer-finally-gets-federal

Lisa Nieme Swayze is internationally known, when she lost Patrick to Pancreatic Cancer, she could have mourned in private and no one would have blamed her.  She could have quietly gone on with her life without speaking about PC ever again.  Instead, she is a hero to many of us.  She keeps Patrick's voice alive in this battle, as I try to do for Ed's voice.  She fights beside us and for us in the public arena, because she can.  She is a super-star for this purple community - We Thank Her.

SHE IS A CHAMPION OF HOPE!

President Obama Signs the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act into Law

Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Praises President Obama for Signing the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act into Law

AND HAPPY 2013 FOLKS.....  



This is why I will continue to volunteer and spread awareness.  So change will come.  I made a promise to Ed to not ignore this disease - to keep his voice alive - to make sure the next generation doesn't have to hear what we heard from the doctors. 

HOPE is on the horizon now.  We will change the future - We will fight together - We will ignore those folks who refuse to believe that we can make a difference. 

It is time to  KNOW IT.  FIGHT IT.  END IT.

The petty personal attacks will not stop me - the hate will not stop me - the negativity will not stop me - from carrying Ed's mission forward.
