Susan Cowdery's Fundraising Page for Hospicare Palliative Care of Ithaca
Going The Distance In Life
This has been a tough year. Despite multiple medications, the cancer is spreading. At this point, I have two goals:
- Quality of life
- Swimming Otisco Lake - which is part of goal #1
Yesterday, I jumped in Cayuga Lake and swam 1/8 of a mile. The sun was warm. The water was cool and delicious. What a beautiful moment!
Hospicare provides palliative care to individuals like me, who have a terminal illness. They help us to live our best lives, moment to moment. Hospicare also provides care during the last six months of life.
I don’t know if I am on the final decent of the stage four cancer roller coaster, or just on one of the many dips. I do know that I rest easier knowing Hospicare is there to help me and support my family and friends.
On July 27th, I plan to swim across Otisco Lake with friends and family. We are going the distance together.
Please jump in the water with me by supporting my fundraising efforts for our community Hospicare and Palliative care.
With heartfelt thanks,
Sue
