Re: September 20th plan

Hi everyone,

I cannot believe that a year ago September 19th I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and on the 20th I climbed Camels Hump feeling scared and unsure of what the year would bring. I vowed to climb it at this time not knowing if it would be my first of the year or one of many. I am happy to report it will be one of many climbs in the last few months. I have struggled with making it a big a occasion or just letting it pass. But as Andrea Mahoney said, "Why don't we just celebrate friendships? " I loved that take. So here is what I have come up with:

September 20th join Curt and I for a silent (as best you can) hike up Camels Hump. I hope we can all reflect upon our own resilience and gratitude and the people that help us get there. Then once we get to the top we can can celebrate just being together and the energy that creates! And I will honor that I would not trade this past year for anything. Ok, well maybe I would have kept my hair. : )

Meet at our house at 8:30am or up at the Burrows Trail at 9ish. (let me know if you will join us so we can wait for everyone)

If you can't join us in the morning come do Light the Night with us in Burlington at 6pm. Here is a link to our team. The more the merrier!

I know my plan is very last minute so I totally understand if this doesn't work for you. Please feel free to share this information. I thought I would start with all of you since you all asked me at one time or another, "What are you going to do on the 20th?". 

Thank you for the nudge!

Love, Lynn
