My daughter’s school is participating in Cancer Awareness Week this week. This is something that is very near and dear to my heart since I lost my Pappaw to cancer last year. I still miss him dearly and often wonder if there isn’t more that could have been done to help him and more to be done to make his last days easier. So every day this week I will be posting something educational relating to cancer awareness, prevention and treatment. Some of these posts will be controversial, but they will be backed by scientific studies and evidence. I am…

Instead I’ve decided to just build off of things that I had already started doing last year. Last year is the year I started running.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases You read that right! My big New Year’s Resolution is to become a better runner.

He gave me some tips on how to help…
