A friend of mine in Dublin has recently been dealing with cancer. He's
currently in remission and thankful for it, and as an act of gratitude
and hope, he's trying to organise a "Toast to Life" on May 1st.
this is the website he's set up for information on it.
http://www.tolife.shadowcat.name/
What is a Toast To Life? It is a time where those of us living with
major illness at 8pm local time, no matter where you are can raise a
glass (whiskey, beer, orange juice, coffee, water - whatever) and
drink a toast to life.
It would be a time that we can all share
*
A time to say that despite it all, we're still here.
*
A time to say that we still doing the dance of life
*
A time to remember those we lost
*
A time to rejoice for those who have won
*
A time to give the finger to death.
Its a time for all suffering from any chronic illness, directly or
indirectly, and family and friends as well.
Please feel free to tell anyone you know who may be interested in
this, and you know anyone I should contact to publicise the event,
please let me know.
Note: this is not a fund raising event, but if you want, maybe put the
price of what ever you're drinking and pass that to a local charity.
I'll be raising a glass to him, and other friends in a similar
situation in Nice, Cote d'Azur (I'm off there on holiday next week for
5 days)
