Day #39 –
Sunday July 24th, 2016 – Another Day in Paradise
Today was a Simple day. After breakfast I went to meet the
father (Doc) of a former client (Doc is also a cancer survivor). His daughter’s
husband had cancer and when he did we did what we could to help him. He was a
cop in San Diego and Kryse (Doc’s daughter) got lots of support from the local
police department before and after her husband passed. She was beyond thankful
to have so much support; that was over 5 years ago. Doc and I have plans to meet again tomorrow
when I meet him at City Chevrolet to get my oil change done. Looking forward to
including him in our videos!
When I returned, I spent some time with the family before
they went to a party. Doryn and I were set to watch the movie outbreak since we
had the house to ourselves. We ventured out to get some food through and first
stopped by an inexpensive place called Cap’n Kenos. I couldn’t wait to see what
I could eat there. But you’ve guessed it, EVERYTHING had black pepper in it and
there was no way to avoid it, so we left to find something else. Luckily there
was a Denny’s nearby and I opted for that, because I knew I could get stuff
without it. After our lunch we headed to the store – we were so thankful to
find a grocery store we were familiar with – Sprouts! We bought a few things
including some ingredients so I could make the family some frozen dessert. We
headed back to the house and I got to making frozen dessert while they were out
at a party. Doryn and I spent the rest of the day writing and relaxing.
Almost 40 days ago, Doryn and I embarked on a journey with several
goals we had in mind to accomplish all for the greater good of those with
cancer. We didn’t have expectations on how many lives we’d change, how many
people we’d connect with or how much our lives would change because of it, we
just knew that we had to do our best to accomplish the overall mission and
goals for the trip. As I look back on the hours we’ve driven, the places we’ve
been and the wonderful people we’ve met along the way, I feel beyond blessed
and thankful for each and every one of you…. For supporting our goals and
mission, for supporting this trip and for taking this journey with us. As we
come close to the end, we are really thinking about the moments that impacted
us the most… Meeting patients we’ve helped through UCAAN that live all across
the country, connecting with hospitals that were impressed by our information
about preventative dental care and how to stop dental deterioration from
happening to their patients, seeing the remarkable hospitals and cancer centers
that bring a whole new level of experts to the world and meeting some of the
young men behind the cutting edge cancer research. The footage we have
collected throughout this trip will be put into a documentary along with some
of the other hospitals we connected with in 2011 about the wonderful cancer
centers and organizations across the country that are doing some exceptionally
innovative things in the world of cancer.
The footage of cancer patients and their family members will
be part of a special campaign for UCAAN to raise awareness about the vital
needs that cancer patients have and NEED NOW, more than anything…. Financial
Support to help them get through it all.
