I would love to join you! I have lost my mom and mother in law in the past 3 years to cancer and I want to do everything in my power to regain control of my diet and restart my workout routine. Ever since my mom’s passing, I was just like you had described, taking care of everyone but myself.

I hope by retaking control of my health I can somehow prevent my child and my family from once again feeling the pain of cancer.

Sign me up sister! :)

Congratulations on your awesome achievement. I am so glad we have met and love the power of the internet for that reason.
I have always been interested in fitness and health and witnessed the power of both on health. My mom has been diabetic for about 50 years and works out every single day. I admire her dedication (she is so much more disciplined than I am) and at 85 years old I believe she is still with us despite all her health issues from Diabetes due to her exercising. My brother in law was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer about 3 years ago and exercises every day as well, and the doctors have said his stable condition is due to his exercise program!
So to make a long story short, exercise is paramount to good health. Keep up the great work. I love your spirit. You go girl!!

A 5K blog update will be posted once a week. You can sign up to get automatic updates for the Prevent Cancer blog in your news feeds and view through a web-based news reader such as My Yahoo or Google. Go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/preventcancerblog to select one that may work for you. Or worst case scenario, I’ll be making regular posts on my Facebook page with a link to the blog. I hope you’ll consider taking on the 5K challenge. Maybe the church youth or other members would want to do a “virtual walker” team to help raise awareness/money for cancer prevention and early detection screening research, education and outreach? Check out the 5K website at http://www.preventcancer5K.org for more information!

(And according to Dr. Ann’s book, with the exception of those with family history of breast cancer who should avoid alcohol consumption to decrease their risk of getting cancer, other scientific studies have found benefit to alcoholic drinks in moderation [no more than one a day for women or two a day for men] to decrease the risk of heart disease and ischemic strokes. Red wine is especially powerful in antioxidants.)

You have always been a true inspiration to me and I will always consider you the big sister I never had. Although we have somewhat grown apart due to distance and circumstances I will always have a special place in my heart for you, your family, and Sara. That being said I would love to join you in this newest of endeavors. Please feel free to email me with the details.

Very proud of you. How will I know when you have updated your blog? Will I get a notification or must I come out once a week to see if it has been updated (never did the blog thing before).

Dr. Kulze used to be our family physician here in Mt. Pleasant before she gave up her practice to follow her passion. She’s a very inspiring person! Good luck to you! You’ve come this far so you know how to do it!

Congrats, Jamie…proud of you!
