Relay For Life 2010

Cancer has been a prominent disease everywhere these days. Loyal readers of my blog would come to know why I have been so passionately fighting for all Cancer Causes around the world and most especially here, in Malaysia. I lost both my mom and dad to cancer, dad being recently:- which is 5 months back.

When a Fellow Twitter friend, Harinder sent me a link via my Twitter inbox, I was a little hesitant and sceptical about it. Nevertheless, I decided to join Relay For Life after all. I figured, this would be the best way for me to overcome it. You see, I have not exactly been open about how I feel with regards to losing dad to a year long battle of cancer. I said I was okay, but people close to me knows I am still at a point of struggle.

My dad, was my everything.

Losing him have been a cruel blow and in a way, I think I have lost a part of myself which I know will never return. The whole Relay For Life journey turned out to be a bittersweet one for me. On that day, I smiled and I cried. I smiled for I was able to witness and listen to stories of survivors yet I cried as I was able to relate to the family members pain of losing a love one.

So here are a few pictures of the journey I made in Relay 4 Life 2010.

Last but not least, My favourite picture of the day:- The Cancer Survivors.

Each one of them has a story to tell and strength beyond your wildest imagination.

So, if this post actually succeeded in tugging your heart-string a little, perhaps, you can consider joining us next year in Relay For Life 2011? Ü

Until then, have a good week ahead.
