I met Kendall when she showed up for the art bazaar my friends put together for me when I was first diagnosed. She's young and has been fighting colon cancer for three and a half years. I had eight chemotherapy treatments, Kendall has had eighty.
Kendall is in a substantial amount of pain and the cancer is growing at a rapid pace. She's chosen to stop chemo and enjoy what time she has with her husband. I visited Sunday, honored that she gave me a moment of her time to take her photo. I told her I could do absolutely anything she wanted with it. She said, "I want to look fierce, with fiery hair." Not a hard task for such a fierce fighter.
She asks that we all appreciate what we have while we have it.

"The platform for my reign is early detection of colon cancer, and so naturally I had to get involved with the CCA and became a Voices Volunteer! I just wanted to share a picture with you from Dress in Blue Day... I spread the word about the event in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area, and to my surprise, a very large number of people responded and wore blue! I'm very proud and am making this event even bigger next year! In this picture are my sorority sisters (Tri Delta at the University of Texas Arlington), who helped me tremendously on Dress in Blue Day."
