Today is a memorable day as something significant happened. In order to remind people the importance of health & exercises, and the sharing of love & care among family & friends, a Mini Sun Run (2.5km) Team, named Life-O-Life (yes, the same name as this Blogger) is established. This movement certainly cannot be compared with Terry Fox Foundation today, but often, all great social movements start from a small idea being executed, and by a small group of the fellow community members (or one day will be called leaders).
The small group of community members (or leaders?) are: (from left to right) Cheryl Kwan, Olivia Chan, Olivia Chan (they are different), Jessica Chan, Nathan Gan, Tracy Chan and Vivian Chong. (*Aiden Chan was presented but he was attending the Canucks game when this photo was taken.) As you can see from the table, there are clear evidence of good foods, drinks, enjoyment and laughters.
Then, in support of this important movement, there are supporting forces: (from left to right) Elizabeth Chan, Esther & me, David Chong, Frankie & Sophia Chan, Grace Chong, Esther & David Gan, Eric Chan, and Ron & Calsa Kwan.
Other than visiting the BCCA in the last two weeks, this is the ONLY time I escaped my Home Care Unit for 2 hours (or as long as my spine can sit up-right)! Esther & I left early, and Olivia returned home by 1am in the morning. I later found in this Blogger a message, posted by Ron at 23:19pm as:
This is from all of us.
Glad to have you with us tonight. I hope you enjoy our food, drink, laugh and joys.
As said, please come again when you ready and we will be around.
You miss the coffee and cheese cake [Elizabeth]
I can't wait for your return [Eric Chan]
Let's go for a run [David Chong]
Please come again [Calsa]

The party is not the same without you [Esther Gan]
Go Cancucks go, Go Matthew go [David Gan]
Let's play poker game like last time till 3am [Elizabeth]
See you soon [Grace]
Thank you guys, thank you for the food, drinks, laugh and joys! I am going to miss you guys a lot during the next 3 months' chemotherapy period (need to avoid outside visits to reduce risk of infection and weaken body condition). Like you suggested, I shall return with a better me, or at least I will try my best in this direction. Meantime, if the worst scenario do take place, and our wishes contradicted ... it's also okay, as I am filled with your love & care and immensed by your laugh & joys! ... The Joy of Life!
