Ladies

One of our sisters (Marybe) from the Stage IV boards had posted the following request several days ago, but only to that board.  I offered to add to other boards.  Basically she entered a contest with American Express regarding how you used your frequent flyer miles.  A dear friend of hers used her miles to fly Marybe to MDAnderson for a consult regarding her Stage IV disease.  While winning would be nice, it is the competition that really is exciting for Marybe.  The following is her original post.  All you have to do is click the blue link and it will take you directly to her picture (in the airplan on their flight) then click the vote button.  You may need a facebook account to vote (not sure about this).  You can vote once a day and the contest ends at midnight on the 16th, so not too many days left.  Can you please vote for Marybe, it would do wonders to raise her spirits.  Thanks in advance, apologize if you are reading this again, I am trying to get onto as many pages as possible for the widest audience.

Original Post

 DREAM & REDEEM from American Expressapps.facebook.com Check out my photo at the Memorable Miles photo contest from American Express. Vote for my entry and help me win 100,000 miles!     

I have a favor to ask of you who take the time to read this and hope I am not being trivial or petty since it is not directly related to breast cancer.  However, I think we all get sick of discussing treatment and side effects and dealing with cancer every day and sometimes need a distraction.  I know I do and I certainly could use a nice trip, but need some help getting the miles to cover one. This is a long shot I know, but the BCO women sent a woman and her son to an Aerosmith concert and got a makeover for another and won a vacation for another with votes so even though I have very few  so far, I figure there is always hope.  Hope springs eternal is one of my favorite sayings since breast cancer.

    Again I apologize if this seems petty and trivial, but it really would be a dream to me.  As soon as the onco told me we are now starting a new ball game and that he doesn't think I am going to be able to continue work and doing my normal routine the way I have been fortunate enough to do thus far,  when we do this new treatment, I got my stuff together and went to apply for a new passport.  If I were to win the miles I don't know where I would go, but it would be somewhere great, like Bruges where SocalledLisa just went or a cruise like BarbaraA .  And the wonderful thing is, if I win the miles so does my friend, Kathy, who without even being asked did not hesitate for a second before saying she would get my ticket to Houston so I could go to MDAnderson with her miles....so this would be a wonderful way to reward her. 

All you have to do is click on the Dream and Redeem and a pic of us flying to Houston should come up and then you click on vote.  You do have to sign into facebook to vote so if you aren't a member maybe you have a friend or teenager  who could cast a vote.  As I said it is a long shot, but I have never allowed cancer to cause me to give up my dreams, however I do need some help in achieving this one.  Thanks so much.
