Thanks guys.
 
It's really tough, but we all must deal with loss in our lives. I'm fighting to find a new normal, but I'll get there in time. 
 
 

wow , im really sorry to hear about your loss , that was a really moving story ... almost had me in tears .... reasons like this is why i fold.

This is why I fold - http://www.youtube.com/us...ttes#p/c/1/ktG70sJnkSk ( That's me, when we ran a promo, it's easier for me to show you instead of type it all out. )
 
Btw - that's an old promo, so forgive me ahead of time if it looks' like im promoting anything here. That's not the case.

It's the eve of the 2011 TZC and also, I now qualify for posting links. I posted this on w7forums almost a year ago.
My sister is one of the bravest people I have ever met. She has taken part in experimental drug treatments and all the traditional ones too. She is proud of me for finding this addiction called folding as her doctors have told her this is the future of medicine. She would be proud of all of you too. Her condition is not as good now as it was in the video. No sympathy but as always prayers are good.
 
"I was waiting to post this video until I was sure that it was okay and already made public. It's now on Facebook.
Jean Holbrook is my sister and we spend a lot of time hoping and praying. Please everyone, heed the message."

When i joined this forum 1 year ago i fold for a lot of multiple reasons and for human beings but since 2 weeks ago i´m diagnosed with Pheochromocytoma. This type of cancerous neuroendocrine tumor most often begins in the adrenal medulla.Now i´m folding/crunching for myself because it´s a battle that i must win because this things is a life threath.

Good luck and I'll include you in my prayers.

Why I'm Folding: My aunt had experienced occasional headaches since she was young, she thought it was just because of stress from work/studying. Today, she's a proud mother of 1 and a loving wife, but she was diagnosed of a massive brain tumor (that grew from 2mm to 5mm in less than 2 months) that was directly on one of her essential nerves. The hospital could not even get a positive diagnosis on whether or not it was even operable. She had just had her operation which lasted nearly 10 hours...the doctor had removed something from her neck to replace the space that the tumor had caused in her brain (not sure about details). I am thankful that is she is alive...doctor currently placed her on sick leave for more than half a year...
 
PS. Merry Christmas guys, cherish the loved ones around you. 

Aunt in-law died from cancer, Uncle in-law has cancer.  To many people dying when with all of our technology we cannot stop this reaper?  I dedicated so many ours of my life to gaming that it is a shame that I haven't done this sooner.  Count me in and starting today.

My grandmother and aunt were fortunate enough to survive cancer and I would like everyone to feel the feeling of relief I felt when I had heard the good news, that is why I fold.

I think it's time I join this thread.  My condolences to all who have lost friends and familiy to cancer and other terminal illnesses.  This last year I lost two family members, one was diagnosed with cancer and passed away the same week.  In past years I have seen others lose the battle with cancer and Alzheimer's as well.  I fold to help further research for these diseases and to honor the memory of those we have lost.  I fold with this team because it is comprised of individuals who are as passionate as I am and who are more than willing to help others, as a true community should.
