Livestrong Give 100… Thankful and Honored

January 18th, 2009 | 3 Comments »

No words can even begin to describe what it felt like to see my name on the Livestrong Give 100% Page. I had no idea that this contest existed or that I had been nominated. I don’t think I’ve ever been a “finalist” for anything in my life! I’m still in SHOCK.

It’s always interesting to see my story. It hasn’t felt like a story or time spent giving– it’s my life. I have followed my natural instincts and have done what I felt passionate about. I am incredibly fortunate to have been in the position to do this my entire life. My family has supported me the entire way and helped me through the bumps and storms.

Who would be the most excited about this? My best friend, Matt! Mr. Livestrong himself :). He always wore his yellow Livestrong bracelet and embodied everything that the Lance Armstrong Foundation is built upon — I so wish he could be here now.

So now I’m going to start sharing on my blog the other part of my life that I don’t tell anyone about. It’s because of these incredible people that I am driven to do everything in my power to help.

They have taught me that now is everything.
