I wear yellow

I wear yellow too.
not just because I love cycling and Lance initiated it;
not just because we should live strong,
not just because cancer research is so important;
I wear yellow too...because I too am a survivor.

Cancer affects so many and the numbers keep growing;
acquaintants, friends, family, love ones.
AND oddly, one woman told me...
You got the "gift" of cancer! "HUH?" I said. "Yeah," she said, "you discovered you actually die in this world...so now you have the gift of life...you want to LIVE."

There is the gift and the paradox of life, my friend.
Now I choose to LIVE and to LIVE STRONG!
That's what it means to wear yellow.
That's what it means to LIVESTRONG.
