Run Cancer run 2025

 As we do every year, we are participating in the Paws 4 Potter virtual walk before the in-person event the first weekend of October.

It's such a good cause.  I can remember SO CLEARLY that terrible morning when I realized that Chakotay had cancer.  He, Archer and I had gone for a run that morning and he was fine as always.  Later that morning I was sitting next to him and petting him and I petted his nick and I realized there was a lump there.  I panicked and felt the other side and and there was anotehr lump on the other side as well.

My blood felt like ice as I knew immediately that he had lymphoma and I burst into tears.  As I've mentioned here before we enrolled him in a clinical trial, but he only survived a couple of months.  The only solce is that while he slowed down and appeared tired, he was happy and didn't seem to be in any pain right up until when he left us.

So this time of year, every time I walk and run I think of him - #runcancerrun2025
