Continuing the journey in His grip.......

After being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer on October 22, 2007, I realized that raising money for breast cancer makes me feel like I am doing something instead of feeling helpless against this disease. This diagnosis was a big shock to us. I was 40 years old, always very healthy and I had 2 small children(3&1). Breast cancer does NOT run in my family.
With a very supportive husband, family & friends, I made it through months of chemo and major surgeries. As of April 3,2008, by God's grace, I am cancer free!!!! I decided that I wanted to continue the fight against breast cancer by forming a team called ”Kat’s Courage” and raising money to help put an end to this disease. There were so many breast cancer survivor's who encouraged me during my fight. To see these women not only survive breast cancer but thrive after breast cancer, gave me this courage to face my fears. I can only hope to encourage others in the same way. We have just completed the 2010 Susan G. Komen 3-day for The Cure. We will continue to support different organizations that we believe in who are fighting against cancer and working for the cancer patient.

My Breast Cancer Journey

"THIS JOURNEY IS AN EVER-WINDING ROAD. I WILL WALK IT TALL, PROUD AND STRONG."

"I prayed every day that you would get well...now I pray that you would talk about something other than breast cancer awareness again"

Community "Chest" Yard Sale

The Double Bubble Bus has been on the road fund raising and supporting different cancer charities.  We walked with The 2nd Basemen team in the Race For The Cure.   We went to Relay For Life in Spaulding County and began to sell raffle tickets for our breast cancer quilts.  We went to the square in Mcdonough for the first annual "Junkin' It" yard sale to benefit Henry County Cancer Services and we sold quite a few breast cancer items. 


Now come and join us on June 4, 5 & 6, 2010.......................                                                                                                                                                          previous location of "Henry's Supply/Plumbing Store"
