Project Michelle - Week 2 (Update from Mabel)


Michelle reports that everything tastes bitter. Apple juice or white rice—all flavors are now seasoned with chemical undertones. Comments like these remind me of how we take so much for granted. Going outdoors, taking a normal shower, eating fresh fruits. We tend to label everything as a right, when in reality so many things in life are actually privileges.

Thankfully, the bitterness doesn’t extend beyond Michelle’s taste buds. She has stated several times that she’s extremely lucky to have such an amazing group of family and friends. A young cancer patient stating she’s a lucky girl. Her words always snap me back into a mindset of gratitude.

Thank you so much to everyone who coordinated and helped out at drives this past weekend. We are off to an amazing start--we’ll be posting our current tally of registrants soon. Please keep up the amazing work.
