(Unfortunately, there were major microphone problems so you’ll have to listen closely, and the very beginning and end are missing.) I’ve also posted some pictures we snapped.
I am truly amazed at the spirit of ALL relayers. Individually you are so special and have a touching story. Collectively you could move a mountain! A special thanks to Lisa Lavely, team captain, to Discount Tire for their sponsorship and participation, and to everyone out there who joined up in this cause last weekend. Way To Go!
No new developments my way. I was expecting to be up on my feet by now, but the last chemo round still has me feeling wiped out. My red count is apparently very low, and the blood transfusion chairs are booked until next week. No more walkathons for a while. I’ll have to resign to my condition and concentrate on my puzzles. My next chemo is scheduled for Wednesday, 5/7.
Until the next posting, may God’s love and blessings of good health and happiness be with you all,
Maureen

| Maureen I am so proud of you. I am sure it was an emotional evening for you. You are such an inspiration to so many people battling this terrible disease. It is people like you that give other people the will to survive. Not everyone can express themselves like you Maureen. You are such a fighter. God is good!! Take Care, Donna | |

| Maureen, You look so beautiful in the relay pictures!! What a wonderful event it must have been. You are sooooo brave to get up and tell your story to all, I'm sure that was extremely difficult. We are gearing up for our local Relay for Life here in Chamberlain to be held on June 28th. I've thought a lot about you during this time, and you will be in our thoughts and prayers that night. Take Care!! Cindy | |
 Maureen the inspiration! Judy Knust | |

| As you probably read in Maureen's last update, "Team Discount Tire" was formed to participate in the Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. We had a great turn out for the event last Saturday. We were the top fund-raising team for this event & we won an award for Best Team Spirit!! Because this team was formed in Maureen’s honor, we were so proud when she agreed to be a speaker at the event! Please visit this link to see some pictures and watch a video of Maureen’s WONDERFUL speech at the opening ceremonies of the Relay- she has a gift for speaking & is a true inspiration! http://www.discounttire.com/relay4life/ Thank you Maureen!!! | |
| Maureen - The Blessings of another day! Joan Lentner | |
| Sure hope by now your strength is returning and that everyday finds you feeling just a little stronger - so that by the time the weekend gets here you can party (just a little). Since we are still celebrating (in spirit with you) all of your good news recently, we want "You" to be the recipient of even more good blessings. When I think of you (which is often) I smile and feel so thankful that God is continuing to bless you in so many positive ways. Isn't that light at the end of the tunnel bright...the past and a lot of the hard/dark days is gone and you can envision life cancer free. That vision of hope is the brightest light out there. Since we know that prayers really really make a difference...you know that mine are going. Joan LH Mpls. | |
| Wow! Courtney Powell | |
| Hi Caseys! Maureen, I was moved by your speech on the video - great job! And it was great to see the pictures from the relay too. I am so proud of Discount Tire for the way they have stood up against cancer...we'll be buying all of our tires there from now on for sure! ;-) I am sorry I haven't written in a while, but we have been reading the updates and were so happy to hear about Joe and Katie's baby! How exciting!!! And, as you said, just another reason to fight for life! We have faith in God that He has bigger plans for you, and faith in you to keep up the strong fight. We continue to think of you, Mike and the boys every day. Love, Courtney, Steve, Alex and Gabe | |
