I am participating in the 2019 Get Your Rear in Gear event to honor my friend and fellow Mama, Sam. Sam lost her battle with Colon Cancer on June 16, 2019. She and I met in a Facebook group full of expectant mothers all due in the same week, when we were both pregnant in 2015. All of us have become very close over the last four years and losing Sam was like losing a sister. We have all decided to participate in the Get Your Rear in Gear Walks across the country this year in her honor, to help raise money for colon cancer research and awareness. Please consider donating any amount, even if it is just $1. I am proud to be able to do this for Sam, yet would do anything I could to have her back in our lives. I am hoping that by supporting this cause we can find a cure and in the future, children, husbands, wives, partners, families and friends won't have to lose their special person. Thank you.
