We had our Komen aprons on and were ready to get things ready for the luncheon

WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!!!! Strange way to start this post…but I feel bad for Luke. I have not stopped talking about the event today since I got home. We had a date night planned and I spent the first half of it telling him about my day. When I realized I hadn’t stopped talking since we started dinner, I apologized…he just smiled… and said he gets it and understands how happy days like today make me…

I was afforded the opportunity to be the Master of Ceremonies for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure “Gallant Celebration” which was the second annual Survivor Luncheon. It was originally scheduled for May 2, the day of the hundred year flood. That didn’t matter. It will take more than a flood to dampen our spirit!! We celebrated survivorship with amazing women, men, families and volunteers. Some extraordinary country artists and song writers joined us and we had one of the most amazing afternoons showing cancer what we are made of. We aren’t going to stop fighting. I can’t wait until October 9th when I get to see everyone again at the Race. I will have given the Mrs. Tennessee crown to another amazing woman….but no one worry…that won’t be the last of Cydney Miller….

…there’s A LOT of fight still left in this ROAD CREW member!!
