Day 82: Prayed For A Cure

As mentioned yesterday, this is another crazy weekend. Congratulations to the new Miss East Cascades! Tomorrow two more young ladies will pass on their crowns. One of those girls is Miss Catherine Watters.

Meet Catherine Watters, Miss Columbia Basin 2012

What is the title of your platform?
CW: My platform is called eliminating cancer, volunteering for a cure.

How can others get involved with your platform?
CW: Just talk to someone that is going through cancer treatments, especially elders. They are extremeley lonely. 

Why did you choose your particular platform?
CW: My grandma passed away from cancer.

Cancer, for a lack of a better word, sucks. Unfortunately, I think that it is safe to say, we all have personally known someone who has had cancer, or has known someone close to someone with cancer. As Catherine made evident, it is important to keep them in our thoughts and keep in touch with them as they go through difficult times. This weekend I am out of town and busy as a bee. What I have done, and encourage all of you to do, is to simply take a moment and pray for someone you know of, have heard of, or cancer patients in general. Even if you don't have the opportunity to speak directly to the person going through treatment, that doesn't mean the big man upstairs isn't listening.

God bless,

Kailee
