    A very moving story packed with alot of inspiration...your wife must be so proud!

    Just a thought....since you have started the 5k's, have you considered starting a fundraiser 5k for cancer research? Would be so moving to know that you helped raise funds to work towards cancer research! Even if that's not your thing, you have every reason to be proud of yourself and all you've done...and a big thanks to your buddy for helping you get started!

    Keep up the phenomenal work!! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement, it means a lot.

    That's what my plan is for the half marathon, I am going to do it and through sponsorship try to raise some money for one of the breast cancer charities and donate it in my wife's name.

    First, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. My 28 year old friend just had a double masectomy, my stepmother is battling breast cancer right now, and a good friiend of my daughter's mother just passed from breast cancer. It's not a selective disease and it's awful.
    Look for a Making Strides event in your area - I am on the EC for my local one and we are already raising money for our October walk. You can dedicate your entire team's proceeds in your wife's name.

    Secondly, YOU look amazing and I know your wife is so proud of you! Way to keep up the great work!

    What an inspiration you are. Fantastic story, your wife would be proud, I'm sure. Keep going because you've done an amazing thing - gone from depressed to happy (me too) it isn't easy, but I applaud anyone who can do it.

    Simply awesome! It feels so good to enjoy life again...I know...I've been there. I didn't lose anyone like you did, which is heart wrenching and I'm so sorry...I just lost myself. When you said some days you didn't open the curtains and that you had groceries delivered...I've done that too.. and it made me tear up remembering that feeling of hopelessness Your story is so inspiring...keep up the good work! And thanks for reminding me of how far I've come from that point. I still have a long way to go...but anything is possible now!! I would love to have you as a friend if you feel like sending a request!
