I have been battling this disease for eleven years. The past two years have been the hardest. It’s easier to feel overwhelmed with five kids, laundry, chemo, scans... So thank you, A Week Away team! I do feel well rested and relaxed after our respite. Ready to keep fighting this fight!
The respite was very well needed. I was able to be relaxed, care free and spend time with my family. My most memorable time was being on the beach with my family and seeing the smile on Riley's face as she enjoyed spending time with her loved ones. We really appreciate the wonderful experience that you have given us. The trip for the week was exactly what we needed to regroup as a family and enjoy one another on good terms.
We had an amazing time as a family. Made good family memories and relaxed. We came home feeling relaxed and ready for life — real life. Thank you for everything. We were able to build memories as a family. That's what our boys will remember — not the hospital visits or the pin-pricks.
The story behind A Week Away
A Week Away was an idea that originated from a weekend trip to Ocean City, New Jersey. My best friend and I were gifted this opportunity by someone who felt I could use some time away. It had been almost four years since doctors had diagnosed me with Stage III Anaplastic Ependymoma, a rare and aggressive form of Cancer that attacks the brain and spine.
