Being on my own is challenging enough! When you have breast cancer, you have more decisions to make than you expect, more options than you ever imagined, more emotions than you can sometimes handle, and have to trust people you hardly know. When there isn't a partner, spouse, parent, sibling or child in your life, who shares in the important decisions, deals with your highs AND lows, helps when you can't help yourself? How much is too much to ask? Guess we'll take it a day at a time and see...
Welcome!
Notes from the author...
First I want to express my heartfelt THANK YOU to my chosen family members and my caring and supportive friends. Just knowing you are there brings much comfort and is a constant reminder that with love, all things are possible! PLEASE remember that nothing shared here is ever meant to hurt and I hope you will keep that in mind if you read something that touches you that way.

Letter Before the Breast Cancer Walk
Part One...just in case you'd like to know what we started with and where it went from here.
Hello support team!
Saturday is the Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk in Muskegon and I find myself completely overwhelmed by your generosity! $400.00 was raised in support of my participation and to help fund breast cancer research. You are all amazing!Your donation and encouragement also gives Carol and I that extra boost to keep our two feet and four paws walking to the finish line.
With registration at 8:00 am at Heritage Landing along the waterfront in downtown Muskegon, we will be leaving Whitehall at 7:15. We are taking two cars and giving our pets their personal space! IF it should rain, two wet dogs in one car would NOT be good! LOL
The actual walk begins at 9:00 and we are looking forward to seeing who in our foursome leads who through the streets. My bet is with the dogs the first half and us the second...we shall see.
With plastic bags, water, pink Dog Star Ranch team shirts, raincoats and leashes, we are ready to do our best. Carol and I know we won't be at a loss for words, Foxy and Lena will be enjoying all the chaos, and even if the rain drops do fall, a good walk for a great cause will be had by all!
Thank you again so much for your encouragement and belief that this is a wonderful and worthwhile thing to do. Being blessed with friends such as you is certainly a gift I treasure. You'll be right there in our thoughts and hearts as we walk and wag along...for us, for you, for your loved ones and friends!
Have a great day everyone, think positive thoughts, and thanks again so very, very much...we will let you know how we do~
Hugs & Wags,
Carol & Donalee
Lena & Foxy
