    Giving Back

    Aye Mates,
    T'is a year ago tomorrow that I concluded me radiation treatments at the cancer care center, the last week was grueling and I still have trouble wrapping me head around it. Me treatments were daily and I spent St. Paddy's Day last year in treatment. Despite me condition I managed to play a few tunes on Irish whistle for the medical staff and patients that day. The pints o' Guinness did not flow yet t'was a most rewarding day in bringing some smiles to others.

    TRAD and I will make the roadtrip out to the center once again today and I am feeling much stronger than this time last year. I'll be bringing me whistles and a headfull o' tunes along with a heart full of appreciation for those that treated me and those fighting the battle now. If I bring a few moments o' joy and solace to them, t'will be mission accomplished. A Happy St. Patrick's Day to ye all, and me thanks to ye all for ye support to TEAM TRAD over the last year.

    Such a beautiful way to pay it forward. No gift is more precious than giving of yourself.

    Happy St Paddy's day to you from one who has some Irish blood flowing in her veins.

    Aye Mates,
    T'was a grand day shared with others. Saw lot's o' me caregivers today and many hugs exchanged (a grand lot they are). The whistle tunes were a hit and they kept asking for more - they weren't even drinking! LMIAO.

    T'was beyond moving to see the hope in folks faces when I told them I got to ring the bell signifying the end o' me treatment just a year ago tomorrow. God bless them all.

    I'm sure your tunes made a hard day much more manageable for the patients and staff.
