2010 Calender

I LOVE that calender title Tgirl:

"Cancer: sometimes things happen in life that change you"

Such a simple title yet so powerfull, that's why I love this site, for everyone's input and ideas.

The purpose of this calendar, I think is two fold.

Firstly to raise money for the MacMillan charity and secondly to dispel the myth that cancer patients (+ family and friends) should be hidden as it is such a difficult subject and the world is scared of the big C.

To do the above we need to make sure that we get the maximum impact. Not sure how we do this but I will be trying to get the old brain box working this weekend!!!

I agree with Andrew, before Michelle & I had to deal with " The Big C " we ignorantly thought that death was the main option.

OK, like most we cried and thought the worst in our darkest days, and yes those dark days still come along!

But now we feel, like alot of us, that we won't let the wrongly named " Big C" beat us.

That's why I love the theme of us not being seen as normal! If that makes sense?

Other's might think different and want a deeper or more normal feel calender, and each to their own.

That's why we need all your idea's and thought to build a calender that will be different to others.

Your summary there Pat was perfect!!! Your initial request for soneone that can do a poll I think it think is perfect - has any one got the IT skills to be able to do that? x

I love tgirl's idea it brought back to mind that someone on here once said that we have to get people away from thinking that being told you have cancer is to be handed an automatic death sentence, it is a disease a very nasty disease but can be beaten..   I think tgirl's title "Cancer: sometimes things happen in life that change you"  reflects exactly what has happened to my Loggy  but Yes you can still manage to live, laugh and have fun.  We have a "Normal Life"  OK so the rational of normal just changes.
