Crucial Catch - Steelers Game
Sunday, October 20, 2013
I submitted my information to the American Cancer Society several months ago in hopes of being chosen as one of the breast cancer survivors to attend (& be honored) at the Steelers vs. Ravens Game on Sunday, October 20, 2013. I was chosen (found out on my last day of chemo 9/23/13) and was honored and excited to participate! I met some great ladies, had a lot of laughs, cried a few tears together as survivors, and enjoyed my day.
Steelers Coach, Mike Tomlin, walked through and shook everyone's hand on the field. A few of the players gave us high fives and handshakes also. I actually touched Brett Keisel's hand! :-D A great, albeit exhausting and freezing, day!
saw the "Just Ducky Tours" before leaving Station Square -- funny family joke
woo hoo! it's a giant rubber ducky!
