I had the privilege of spending a few hours at the fund raiser for a Ilana today. We were amazed by the love and sacrifice of so many who have been touched by Lans. The cars just kept on coming and they just kept on washing. . . from 9-3 in the very hot AZ sun.
It's amazing the emotions that accompany cancer. I felt them all today. . . extreme love for strangers who care for Ilana, overwhelming gratitude, sadness over signs that read, "young mom cancer car wash," determination as I held my "cancer sucks" sign like a sword with tears brewing . . . and always wondering WHY when I look at her boys?
A huge thanks to the many, many loved ones who came today to help Ilana, my brother and her little boys. Her loved ones have felt so helpless in her fight. . .but there is no question the funds raised and loved shared will HELP in her treatment.
I apologize I don't remember the names of all of Ilana's coworkers and friends. And I am sorry I didn't get pictures of everyone who helped today.
I was there in spirit Becca! My husband sent his work vans and some of the people from his Corvette Club came. Also, his corporate attorney wants to know if there is a foundation set up, they are collecting donations at the office. Give Lans my love!
