Putting a Face on Cancer
The face of our Cancer
had blue eyes and dirty blond hair
an eyebrow splashed with white
a few lashes and a patch of hair the same

The face of our Cancer
was always up for mac and cheese
made a mean breakfast that usually involved hot sauce
wouldn’t pass on an ice cream sandwich or a good scotch

The face of our Cancer
loved frozen ice and the smell of the arena
always showed up early to the rink on game day
cheered for the leafs … not kidding… really cheered for the leafs

The face of our Cancer
read the instructions, knew all the rules, always had a plan
could make a game out of anything…even the mundane
believed winning wasn’t the only thing …it was everything

The face of our Cancer
got a tattoo when Canada won Olympic hockey double gold
added another after his own first Ironman
wasn’t able to add cancer survivor to the collection

The face of our Cancer
wasn’t much of a runner and then one day he was
didn’t like to swim until one day he did
found out that swim, bike, run was an amazing challenge

The face of our Cancer
would race into the house for late night leftovers
wouldn’t mind the same for breakfast the next morning
learned to cook so he could have what he wanted when he wanted

The face of our Cancer
saw more of the world than many, but not nearly enough
accomplished many things but had so much more left to do
was born more than a month late ….and died years to early

The face of our Cancer
was a brother, a nephew, a cousin an uncle
he was a friend, teammate, a partner and fiancée
the face of our cancer was our oldest son

What is the face of your Cancer?

Drum Role Please……300+ people are now registered!

drum-roll-please

A great big thank you for assisting us in reaching our goal of 300 Registered Participants. As of midnight last night we were at 306…and there are a few people that have still asked to register today so we are going to close everything as of midnight tonight….

We wouldn’t be here without all of you taking the time to register and promote the Giants Head Grind and there are no words to express our appreciation.

Fund raising efforts have us at $12,500 so almost half way to our goal of $30,000 which we believe is achievable.

If you missed registration for this year..we will open registration on May 18th, 2014 for next years race which will be held on Saturday May 16th, 2015 we look forward to seeing you then..!

If you are interested in volunteering this year we still have some jobs available….please contact us at info@giantsheadgrind.com.
