A terrible family legacy Why do I relay, and why do I volunteer every year? Well, the short answer is that I would do anything in my power to wipe this vicious disease off the face of the earth, and volunteering is such an easy thing to do. The hard part was watching my parents fight this dreadful disease, and lose the battle. The hard part is looking at my family tree, and seeing all the "branches" falling off because of this disease. The hard part is knowing that the genetic portion of the disease lurks behind every bush, waiting to jump out and pounce on someone else in my family; maybe even me. Let me tell you a bit about my family. My dad lost both of his parents to cancer when he was just a young man, and he always dreaded cancer; even the mention of it would upset him. I can even remember when he had two heart attacks. He said that he was not worried about his heart, he knew that the BIG C was waiting to take him, as it had taken his mom and dad. |
