Weekly Reading, November 11th, 2008

Today I read an article on Startribune.com titled Woodbury woman winning the war at her life. It was all about a woman named Kathy Miller who at the young age of 34 was diagnosed with breast cancer causing her to undergo a double mastectomy and lymph node removal. Kathy has three kids aged 8-months, 2 years old and 4 years old who is also autistic. Kathy was determined through all her surgeries and treatments to stay alive so her children wouldn't have to lose a mother. With her having cancer, her children also have health problem's of their own making their household a busy and hectic place to be. She has been named the "Beautiful Warrior" award from Ford Motor Co. and Reader's Digest, which is an award given to 3 cancer survivors and she will get her picture posted in the newspaper. I think that with everything she's had to overcome she greatly deserves this award.
