On March 9th of 2000 I lost my mom, Peggy Welch, to breast cancer. It never really sank in how sick she was because she was so strong and defied the timeline doctors had given her. So when I left school in February of 2000 it really took me by surprise to find out how sick she was. I was fortunate to be able to spend as much time with her as I did in her last days. The night she passed away I was sitting in my room and I felt like she was walking down the hallway towards my room. It felt so real I didn’t even question how she could have walked to my bedroom being so weak. I walked into the living room to tell everyone what had just happened when I was told that my mom had just passed away. My mom gave so much to me throughout my childhood, she always put me first, this is why I want to give back to her memory. So I have decided that I am growing a beard starting today January 30th and I will not shave it off until after Mothers Day, 99 days from now. The way that you can help support me and the memory of my mother is by following my blog and if I reach my goal making a donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in her name. Any donations would be much appreciated and you can make a donation at the following link:
