BLT Charm

Battling Life Together continues to receive an outpouring of Support from our community near and far. We have recently received this blessing from Cathy's Creations Jewelry to print a charm for BLT and part of the proceeds will benefit BLT's mission of helping those fighting cancer and their caregivers.

I hope you will take the time and go to her site and purchase one or many today for you, your friends, your family. The Ribbon is colorless to represent ALL Cancers- Cancer is fought by so many in so many ways and we want BLT will continue to represent how Together we are Never Alone!

2 Years have Passed

Time has gone by so quickly, we are celebrating two years as Battling Life Together on 10/10/12. Since the start we have seen many changes. Milestones have been met, obstacles overcome; we became an official Non Profit 501-C3 organization in July of this year. We are now moving forward to raise money and get involved with the larger organizations, Cancer Centers, Hospice facilities etc. We have touched so many lives in many different ways. Even more so we have been touched, changed, improved because of each and every one. We have made so many new friends, supporters, and met many BLT Soldiers along the way. Sadly a few have earned their wings and we pay tribute to them by paying it forward and continuing to do our work and providing others on this journey a little comfort and a lot of support. 

Each of us Thank You for being here with us so far and pray each of you and more will be by our side to continue on for many more years to come. 

Come visit us and friend our page on Facebook and get a chance to win a gift - 2 winners will be chosen from our list of friends you can be one of them if you aren't already!

What BLT is all about.... It could be you, me or a stranger in another state. BLT is Battling Life Together so that none of us are ever alone. Cancer Sucks. Yep I said it, sometimes I want to shout it from the rooftops, but now we use that energy in a different way by providing comfort to others that are living it. All of us as members of BLT have battled it, currently fighting it, fighting against it, holding someone up that is fighting it. Why not use what you have and put your arms around someone who may not have the strength today to do it for themselves but because of you they will have more strength tomorrow.

So many now share our passion, our journey our mission to comfort others - you can be part of this. Contact BLT today and we will let you know how. Do you know someone that could use a smile, a child that is fighting the fight of their young life, how a coloring book and gift package might make their day, even a grand parent struggling the battle or caring for their own child fighting CANCER. Yes Cancer Sucks, but we can all be more passionate, caring and persistent in helping others.

Just a few of our recent donations - Thank You!





Impact

Have you ever considered the impact you might have on someone elses life with a simple card, a care package, a brief phone call to say hello? Being with a group like BLT has shown each of us how even the smallest gesture can have the biggest impact.

With all of the publicity and response BLT received from the Inspired Living Segment we have been so fortunate to meet many other people just like us; impacted by cancer in different ways. There are so many kind and compassionate people willing to reach out their hand to give so that someone else can be reminded they are not alone.

The donations, offers for assistance, referrals have been pouring in and we are so blessed that we are able to continue to give back to the community and reach out to organizations such as St. Judes with the help of others.

BLT has been blessed and we continue to prosper. We are so very close to submitting our 501C application so that we can become official and impact the lives of many more individuals and families.

It is surreal - we can feel excitement that we are able to help so many people, and so much sadness because the numbers of people impacted by cancer is growing. Children and adults are overwhelmed with the diagnosis, the treatments, the cost. The impact that cancer has on the lives of so many can be devastating. The impact can also have the reverse effect and the person(s) will find a way they can impact the life of someone else.

Just recently a BLT soldier was impacted by the loss of a dear friend, another cancer patient she met while having treatments herself. This impact was two fold, not only did she lose a dear friend, she had to face a reality that not all cancer patients survive. Then again, none of us 'survive' in the end. There is a special place we will all go one day, how will you spend your days? Impacting the lives of others or waiting for someone to impact yours?

No matter the answer BLT is here... Battling Life Together. Thank you all for impacting our lives and helping us to impact the lives of others.
