I was eighteen years old, fresh out of high school with a bright future to look forward to, when I received the "big" news that I got cancer. This was a big deal for someone of my age to stand. What should I do? Lost in self pity or fight for myself? I chose the second.

After four months of treatments, I overcame my difficulties and started to be a newperson—someone who took nothing for granted and who learned to appreciate everything and everyone around me. Years passed and I received my certificate (*书) in medical assisting,met a wonderful man, moved to New York and got married. Truly, life couldn't have been any better.

For years, I had always kept in touch with Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN and the children living with cancer who were being treated there. What a truly beautiful place! No patient was ever turned away regardless of ability to pay. As my 20-year anniversary (纪念日) of being a cancer survivor approached, I wanted to do something special. I organized a fund raiser, calling it "A Mission of Love," and thanks to my generous family and friends,raised $4,000 for St. Jude's. Three quarters of the money would be given as a donation (捐献) to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying toys for the children. I also had organized a T-shirt painting activity for the hospital.

My husband and I flew to Memphis with 50 T-shirts and a huge bag of cloth paint the day before Thanksgiving. We went to the toy store and filled three shopping carts with all kinds of toys. It was as though we were celebrities when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.

On Thanksgiving Day we pulled into the front gate of . After dropping the toys off, we went to a waiting area where some children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. They picked out their shirts and my husband and I helped them get started. To see them smile was one of the greatest gifts I could have ever received. When the activity was over, we dropped off the donation to a kind worker, and our visit came to an end.
