The power of sisterhood brought together Miller's friends and family to experience this milestone.
Mary Miller is the owner of Java.net Books & Gifts, our local coffee shop/bookstore, and Viva Cuba’s May 8 Chair-i-table auction takes place there. But this is not a post on the auction. It is about Miller’s initiative and courage in her fight against lung cancer. It is about the power of sisterhood to share the burden and a caring business that opened its doors to the group.
Mary Miller’s approach to her battle with cancer is inspiring many through her Facebook pages and her CaringBridge journal as she chronicles her experience. One of the events in this battle is illustrated in her approach to hair loss due to her treatments. In this case, Miller took the initiative, and her story is this week’s Cuba Free Press. Read the article and be inspired. Forward it to women who may be fighting their own battles. The newspaper has more photos.
Since the event, other cancer warriors are booking similar events. Friends of Mary, who couldn’t attend, are “going pink.” Friend Cristie Kruse is doing a triathalon this weekend in honor of Miller’s fight.
It’s a beautiful thing.
That is so cool! You guys rock! As I sit here in pain at 4:30 this morning looking for some inspiration, something so awesome shows up. I feel so honored and blessed by the overwhelming,outpouring of love, support and compassion from our wonderful community! May God Bless you All!
You are doing the heavy lifting. We are just here for support. We all need to support the Relay for Life in June.
Mary, you are such an inspiration to so many people and have started a pink epidemic! ha! It’s a wonderful thing! Also, good job Kelsie on the pink mohawk idea!!!
Great message. I intend to send it on to a dear friend that is battling ALS. Mary is indeed an inspiration to all of us. There is no doubt in my mind that Mary is going to WIN HER BATTLE with cancer!
I hope you can feel the presence of so many that love you and care about you lifting you up for God’s healing hand to see you through. I am so sorry for what you will have to endure, but I know you are strong and determined and that is what it will take. Love, Hugs and Prayers
