Good morning everyone. I don't post often but I check the site everyday to see how you are all doing.

I am struggling a little bit at work. I work for an organization that raises money for lung cancer research. It is a cause that is very close to my heart since my mom passed away from lung cancer in January of 2006. It is a wonderful organization and lung cancer is a terribly underfunded disease. So many people are bitter at the attention that breast cancer receives and I hear about it almost on a daily basis ... especially now when the city of Chicago is decked out in pink. I always have to bite my tongue and it is getting harder.

On another note I am running the Chicago Marathon this weekend. Although I am running in memory of my mom I am also running for all of you. You have been such an inspiration to me and I have learned so much on these boards. I am trying to figure out how to "show" everyone on the streets of Chicago that I am running for the HER2 women. If any of you have an idea, please let me know!

thanks for letting me vent ... Lisa
