The other day we went to the beach and collected heart rocks. Gabe had pockets full of heavy stones. Then he decided to throw them into the sea and make wishes.

I wish for a puppy!

I wish for the puppy to have puppies!

I wish for the puppies to have more puppies!

This kid goes big!

My turn

I wish for a puppy!

I wish you didn't have NF!

Gabe looks at me suprised and confused.

Why mom? That's weird!

Gabe and I are intertwined in our ability for our bodies to make tumors. I used to believe it was my fault. I was pregnant then had Cancer. Even despite what every doctor said I knew in my heart my diagnosis was connected to his. Slowly and patiently I learned I did not cause this. But our strengths are connected. He has mine and I have his. He has met so many wonderful souls and friends in his NF journey and I have too. We have experienced deep love at Brainy Camps and Double H camp. Strangers that are quickly family. I have witnessed and learned so much about love and that it never runs out.

Of course I wish no child to ever have to go through these challenges. And that is why I ride the PMC. I want a cure. We want a cure. This year I am doing a one day PMC Ride. Did you know that if you donate and have Commerce Insurance you get a discount. Money back to donate to a great cause.

I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure.
