THIS....is how you fight cancer!!!!


Stuart Scott.  1965-2015.  Passing from our world after dealing with a rare form of appendiceal cancer for 10 years, he truly proved to be 'as cool as the other side of the pillow'!!!!


Stuart Scott ESPY speech

"Our life's journey is about the people that touch us...  Don't give up.  Don't ever give up.  When you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer.  You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live. So live!  Live!!  Fight like hell!  And when you get too tired to fight, then lay down, and rest.  And let somebody else fight for you. This whole journey thing - is not a solo venture.  This is something that REQUIRES support.” ~Stuart Scott~

So wise.  So beautiful.  Such a loss.  What a man.  How lucky are we to have heard his words?  How lucky am I to have the support of my battalion... such that my journey is NOT a solo venture?!

    Frank has been devastated at the loss of Stuart Scott on ESPN. His speech is beyond moving.

    The more I learned about him and his life, I found...he took his own advice...he LIVED! To my mind there is no better epitaph.
