Facing Breast Cancer & Reconstruction Options

4 Months, 1,200 Visitors, 13,000 Video Views, and Baja Bound!

Hi Friends!

Courage Blog is almost 4 months old and we have reached the incredible mark of over 1,200 visitors and over 13,000 video views on YouTube! That’s not visits, but individual visitors. Thank you to all of you that have spread the word and have helped make Courage such a success in such a short time!

We have more exciting news this week! Courage is growing in more areas than just online! Courage has grown by 2 new, formal additions! Kelley and Heather have now joined our race to make a difference. Time doesn’t allow me to give you a lot of details, you’ll just have to check in again soon to see these exciting changes! But big thanks and hugs go out to these 2 amazing women, one that I have known and been friends with for half a lifetime, one that is a new but equally important friend. These powerful and wonderful women will be a huge asset to Courage, and to all the women we will help. Thank you, ladies! I love you both!

This Friday I leave to head to Baja for the Mexican 1000 Rally. I am fortunate enough to help out as a timekeeper for the event, and I’m looking forward to meeting some great new friends. Of course I will be spreading the word of Courage, and will be trying to get new people involved. This is a great opportunity for Team Courage, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

And for those of you concerned, I am physically mostly okay to travel to this event. I still have quite a bit of pain in my left side and there are several places where the stitches are trying to work through my skin, but the skin is still intact and should be fine. I will be traveling with powerful antibiotics to try to protect me in case my skin does open, which will expose me to contaminants in the water. But the main incisions are healed and looking as nice as possible. I’m getting used to the hard plastic of the expanders and the look of barbie boobs, but can’t wait until I can have my implant swap in the fall. But I should be safe for travel, even though I will not be able to take part in any off roading while there. It is too easy for the expanders to break through the fragile skin, so I have to be careful. But I’m okay to watch this time, I know my time will be here soon!

Thank you all for checking in, and for your thoughts and prayers! I will update you from the road, and will be traveling with camera and video in hand!

Take care,
Michele
