If it hasn’t touched your life yet, I can almost guarantee that it will.
We don’t like to talk about cancer, so we can start believing that we’re alone in facing its cold hand. The reality is that since I’ve started talking to others about it I’ve only encountered one person who hasn’t been personally affected by cancer.
Back in February my wife’s sister passed away at the age of 41 from cancer. It wasn’t the first time that our family had journeyed with loved ones facing cancer.
I’m about to undertake a bike ride of over 500 km to raise funds for Cancer Council Western Australia.
You can read more about the ride and the idea behind it at my blog post Breaking the silence on cancer (http://rodneyolsen.net/2009/09/breaking-the-silence-on-cancer.html).
The blog post also asks you to highlight the cause through your blog or whatever other means you have available.
