I started volunteering at the Country Club almost 3 years ago, as a way to satisfy my sponsors request for me to get a commitment. I remember thinking to myself I would never fit in, I had nothing in common with those people. You have no idea how wrong I was. The Club began to give me a purpose, something other than chemotherapy to look forward to. The Club has been the one place that has taught me accountability and gave me back my sense of purpose. I have been introduced to a whole world of wonders by simply being a volunteer for my fellows. So to end I would just like to say thank you to every one of you for allowing me a place to belong and for giving me so much more than you can possibly imagine.
