World Cancer Day
Today is World Cancer Day! MD Anderson states, we are stronger together! FTTF continues to work daily to be a form of support local breast/gyn cancer patients need to get through treatment.
Weekly I hear of new family and friends diagnosed with cancer. It's shocking and sickening each time. My prayers are for those in the fight and those by their side. Together we can do amazing things!
Thank you for your continued support.
Galacians 6:2 By helping each other with your troubles, you truly obey the law of Christ.
Debunking The Myths of Cancer
"World Cancer Day 2014 (February 4, 2014) focuses on Target 5 of the World Cancer Declaration: Reduce stigma and dispel myths about cancer, under the tagline “Debunk the myths”.
World Cancer Day is a chance to raise our collective voices in the name of improving general knowledge around cancer and dismissing misconceptions about the disease. From a global level, we are focusing our messaging on the four myths above. In addition to being in-line with our global advocacy goals, these overarching myths leave a lot of flexibility for members, partners and supporters to adapt and expand on for their own needs."

FTTF 16 Months of Service
December 2013 marks FTTF 16th month of patient service. In total we have supported 12 patients and fully sponsored (monthly financial support) 6 patients/families. We have distributed nearly $10,000 funds to those sponsored and distributed nearly 50 "Fight Bags" to local clinics. We have managed multiple meal calendars, distributed multiple "Fight Blankets" and have spent countless time in fellowship with our patients. Our initial goal for sponsorship was to max out at 5 patients sponsored per month and January 1st 2014, we will reach this goal! We will officially have 5 patients full time along with meal calendars for at least 3 of those.
It is quite exciting to bare witness to the work that FTTF is doing in the lives of patients and families. Incredible relationships have been established and support systems strengthened. Faith's renewed and financial support given. Volunteers and board members continue to report how much even they are impacted by the patients we serve. Each month as we check in on our patients progress, we are amazed at the strength they possess and the drive they have to fight their disease's. Many will live on chemo for the duration, others will have to learn to live with the effects of harsh and cruel (yet necessary) treatments. We understand that survivorship then becomes the new norm. Supporting patients even beyond the acute phase of treatment will certainly be a developing goal for FTTF.
Additionally, each month I am continually humbled and honored by the financial and volunteer support that this organization continues to receive. Apparently God continues to provide and doors continue to open. We are so very grateful to those who continue to support our mission and allow us to impact the lives of patients battling breast and gyn cancer. A Special Thank YOU to Clear Creek Community Church GoOp leaders and small groups for your interest and investments into our patients. We are so grateful to be a part of such a service driven community.
Other news:
Wednesday, December 11th I had the privilege to visit with the MD Anderson Bay Area Support Group. I shared FTTF mission and info to members of the group.
Tuesday, December 17th I had the honor of presenting FTTF mission and it's origin to the League City City Council thanks to City Council member Heidi Thiess.
Other upcoming events: TBA- FTTF Teeing Off With Friends 2nd Annual Golf Tournament (~ June/July 2014)
