This no doubt... will be the first bump of many... for this thread.
Personal stories... and of the like.
Now for the serious bit.
1 in 2 people will develop Cancer in their lifetime..... it's a Fact.
A personal story.
I find myself at the age of 43.
I look back to when I was 13.
I lost my Grandmother to Thyroid Cancer.
It was a cruel death..
She hadn't smoked a day in her life, but memories of the effect it had on my family still run deep. It was a couple of firsts to be honest, the first time in my short life i had experienced the consequence of death. What it was, to see/ experience a lifeless body. To experience the loss of a loved one. To see & experience the effect it had on my family. Something, even till this day it seems so unfair. I had little understanding then, and I still now question this thing called "Cancer". What I do know, only with our help, whatever it is, this can maybe one day be a thing of the past, or at least help those in their final days/months/years.
If you can, please support this great event.
I don't necessarily mean donate cash, although if you can, that is a Prime Objective, but it's not the end all.
Just tune into the event, lend your support, make a point to be there.
Being a Community, will mean so much. (I will be cheering from the side lines btw)
We will certainly all be impacted in one way by Cancer ( whether ourselves or family ), what is important is that we stand together.
Give what we can, in whatever form, Money/Time or both. Whether here or elsewhere.
I hope to see you all there, I will.
edit:
Not posting this to put a "Downer" on the mood.
Not at all.
It's serious stuff, it's Real Life.
It's stuff whether it is easy or difficult to talk about, regardless can't be ignored.
And yes... I believe "Gamers" can change things!!!
Lets raise some money, have fun in the process, and make a difference.
