'i will fight'

well, september is lymphoma awareness month. for those of you who have been along for the ride, we've certainly gotten outselves a crash course in lymphoma recently! when my mom and i sat in the final 'smart' dermatologist's office learning all of the possible causes of my chronic itch and heard lymphoma on the list of (unlikely) possibilities, i didn't know the first thing about it. over the past few months i have gone from completely lymphoma-ignorant to knowing more about this disease than i ever hoped.

today i got a cool gift in the mail for lymphoma awareness month: a box of 'i will fight' bracelets in the official lymphoma color of lime green. these bracelets first came out of the dear jack foundation with lyrics 'i will fight' from andrew mcmahon's (alleged) favorite song he's ever written, something corporate's watch the sky. in support of young adult leukemia & lymphoma research, i will proudly don an 'i will fight' bracelet... perhaps until i am done fighting.

i have a box of fifty looking for a good home. i'd certainly be proud seeing little green signs of support on the wrists of others. :) if you're interested, shoot me an email with your address and i'll drop you one in the mail.
