Let's Light the Night!


On Tuesday, September 17, 2013, Team Invictus will be participating in the Bay Area LLS Light the Night Walk.  Our team page is now active, so if you'd like to join us for the walk or support us by making a donation, please visit this page:  http://pages.lightthenight.org/gba/SanFran13/invictus

This year is particularly exciting for many reasons!
  • Caitlin will not be receiving a stem cell transplant and will be able to participate!
  • The walk originates at AT&T ballpark (home of the SF Giants) and a portion of the walk takes place on the field itself!
  • Caitlin is a 2013 "honored hero" for this event, so our group will have a VIP tent and special attention!
  • Nicholas will be an almost-two-year-old (omg!), so we'd like to plan a BIG CELEBRATION for him and for his whole family for persevering through these staggering last two years!!

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley
