This post is a special thank you to my rugby girls. These girls are amazing women in any situation - there is a reason why I was proud to be called their team mate. They have ensured we have a fully stocked freezer (on top of just being their to talk, or watch Charlotte at a moments notice).
On top of all that, a few of them have entered a team into the "Ride to Conquer Cancer". It's a 200km bike ride from Vancouver to Seattle to raise funds for the BC Cancer foundation. Their team name is 'Nothing Butt Class' - which is a well used rugby term for anytime we'd do something silly. Cancer has affected another friend from the Rugby Club as well - he's actually 1 year older than Stefan to the day - and had his fight in 2010. He's now cancer free (but has regular checkups) - and an inspiration for Stefan. We are very touched by the support from the rugby club (mens and womens). They each have to raise $2,500 by participating. This plug is my way to thank them - if you would like to donate - this is a great way - and it's a great cause!

Thank you Taleen! We'll do our best for you guys, and stay tuned for fundraisers between now and June! :-)
What a wonderful way to make an impact, all the best to those that ride and support. Having been a part of the Run for the Cure for a number of years, it is always so inspiring to see all the people that want to support the cause.
Great blog, Taleen, it's nice to be able to keep up on how things are going for Stefan, and you. Haven't seen his parents in a number of years, and him and Rebecca in I don't know how long, but always enjoying catching up when we have the chance.
All the best to you both and your families. Julia (Fogarty) Lucyk
