A friend of will's, Tripp Owen, had to give a speech at school this week...

The Fight of Her Life

I stand here today to talk about Kelly Stewart and how she is fighting through pancreatic cancer.  Not many people get this, but when they do they have a horrific process.  Mrs. Stewart on the other hand is doing great and going through the work involved just fine.

Her son is Will Stewart and he is a seventh grader here at Wester Middle School.  I have been friends with Will since I was five.  We met in baseball and our friendship has continued on throughout our lives.  

When I heard about Will's mom I was devastated.  Mrs. Kelly is a great mom and she doesn't deserve this cancer.  But sadly she and her family have to persevere through this heartbreaking experience.

Considering the hard time Kelly is going through she seems to be doing fantastic!  We have found many ways to support her.  The main one is TEAM KELLY.  It is a group of anyone who helps and thinks about Mrs. Stewart.  Some things TEAM KELLY have created are T-shrits, which I'm wearing today, and bracelets, which I also have on right now.  The other ting many people do to support her is shaving your head.

The reason we do that is because she has to go through chemotherapy and she has lost her hair.  We have shaved our heads to make her feel better about this experience.  She has been wearing wigs on her head because she does not want to look bald.  Her wigs fit her personality and she has gotten many compliments on them.  Se is still very beautiful in all of them.  She loves that we have shaved our heads in support of her and her 3 boys.  She would not let her daughter shave her head though.  There are over 100 kids throughout Wester and other schools who have joined in and supported Ms. Kelly.

My baseball team was in a "Strikes against Cancer" tournament in support of many different cancers.  We all wore our TEAM KELLY shirts and she was there to cheer us on to victory.

As I finish this speech, I hope you will think about and pray for Ms. Kelly, Will and their family.  She is a great woman who deserves the best.  If you have any questions about Ms. Kelly or you want to order a bracelet or shirt go online to www.kellybridge.blogspot.com.  Thank you.

thanks tripp.  your speech gives us strength and hope to face tomorrow :)

It was a great week of feeling so good! She was thrilled she got to be at field day and ball games all weekend.  So many blessings this week...too many to list...another blog post is in the works!  Wear your TEAM KELLY shirts tomorrow to show your support!

Please pray this:

1.  For her anxiety anticipating treatment. 

2.  For her side effects to be minimal.

3.  For her counts to be UP, so she can actually get treatment tomorrow.

4.  Thank Him for a week full of blessings and feeling great.

5.  For TEAM KELLY loving and supporting her through cards, texts, visits, meals, hugs, facebook messages, etc!

6.   Pray we will be reminded that He is in control, and that timing it is up to Him, not us.

7.   For jason, will, ben, sam and ella...always.
