Letter from DD

hi flo
first i just want to thank you for your assistance in finding someone to gift the helmet I purchased to. when you suggested miss fancy i was ecstatic. i could not have thought of or found a person who personified grace, warmth, caring and love of life as deeply as fancy does. i have said before that all to many times i would be in a position where i could do something that in some small way could or would make a difference. life just seemed to get in the way and i would put it on the back burner to address later. like so many, later seemed to never appear and when it did something else seemed to trump it.
not very long ago i received information that my own father was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, shortly after that one of my friends in the riding community under went surgery for his own personal fight with cancer.
wow, is this really happening i asked myself, well okay then you have my attention. it was at that moment i was on conga 2 reunion forum when i read a post that a helmet was going to be auctioned off and all proceeds were going to the cancer fund for breast cancer. you could say i had an ahhh haa moment, this is the time i could do something and make it count. i bid on the helmet and subsequently won it. now the next step, could i gift it to a woman who had herself fought the battle with breast cancer and been victorious.
it was at this point i contacted you and explained to what i wanted to do with the helmet. i asked if you could help me in finding that special someone i could gift the helmet to who could with pride wear it hopefully on some leg of the conga 2 reunion ride. this would be my little something that i could actually do and finally stop the cycle of always being to busy to really look at the bigger picture. this is when miss fancy came into the picture.....i am proud and humbled to say miss fancy has agreed to allow me the honour of gifting her this helmet to keep as a memento of her victory and to hopefully wear in the conga 2 reunion ride for breast cancer. i have learned from this experience it does not matter what your part is, it doesn't matter how big or how small, how close or how far.....all that matters is that you have a part. thank you miss fancy, you do all of us proud as do all the other participants in this quest to one day have this plague be something we do not live but instead read about in history books.
