Light the Night - One Year On

11/1/2015

This time last week I had the opportunity to speak at the Light the Night event in Glenview, Chicago. Standing on stage and seeing all the lanterns bob in the dusk felt quite spectacular and a little surreal given where I was one year ago, mid way through my chemotherapy treatment. It was beautiful!

The best bit was having the opportunity to bring Evie, Isobel and Nick on stage to countdown to the walk kick off. I think the girls were a little baffled but Evie keeps playing the video of me on stage over and over. She was pretty chuffed I was on stage. I'm quite chuffed too. 

Thanks to everyone who's supported and rooted for us, I certainly would't have been there without you. Together we raised well over $2k for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society this year. I find it a little hard to watch the video back, the urrmmms and ahhhs are a bit cringeworthy and I missed out the two jokes I'd been excited to share. That said, if you'd like to watch it, here you go....

I love how strong the support system is in Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Well, you guys must always be there for each other, and I hope that the people will also understand what you are going through. I am glad that you grabbed that chance to uplift others' spirits. I know that the situations where you are in is quite challenging, but this too shall pass. We need to believe in the power of miracle because everything can happen through prayers!
