This morning, a long time friend and former young person in the church at Wharton, took off on a sixty mile walk to raise money for the Susan G Komen Foundation. She is Susan Copeland Raines. We are pleased to have contributed money for her walk. It will end at the Cotton Bowl Plaza in Dallas Sunday afternoon.
Susan and her family live in the Rowlett area near Dallas. The list is long of those she is walking for. One is my sister, Betty Pogue Garner, who died of cancer. At present Susie's husband, John,
is fighting a melonoma that has returned after one year. Her walking partner and long-time friend is Joni Sauce, a cancer survivor.
Susie has always been a strong person, physically and otherwise. She has endured a family tragedy, and the loss of her parents and a brother. However SIXTY MILES! I hope she is in great shape for such a trek. We will be pulling for her that she makes the sixty miles, and I send a salute for her dedicated effort to fight a dreaded disease that has affected most if not all our families.
