Before we go extinct

Time has passed ever since the events in tlou2. Dina and Ellie just want to give JJ a future where he can survive and thrive. Abby wants the same for Lev but unless they all work together survival might be impossible.

Or

Is the fear of extinction enough to make old foes - turned reluctant allies - collaborate? Save each other? Talk and actually listen?

Chapter 10

Abby and Lev are still not out of trouble but they get one confirmation that is crucial for their mission

Maybe this is really cynical of me, but I’m so tired of everyone donating money to big “cancer fighting” corporations that over charge and bleed patients and families of everything they have, refusing to lower the cost of these million dollar treatments and medications that other people can pay a tenth for in another country, “fighting for a cure” that big pharma and other research facilities *really don’t want* to find because think of all the money that would be lost! It’s an entire industry. I mean, think of the billion of dollars that would be lost. No more specialiazed cancer hospitals—a tragedy! No more chemo—oh no! No more surgery, or radiation, or CT/MRI scans, or infusion treatment, or transfusions, or laser’s—how horrible!

I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry. I’m infuriated. I’m infuriated that after nearly 100 years, we’ve found no progress. Cancer patients are still limited to chemo, radiation, or surgery for their treatment. And in the meantime, the cost of these toxic drugs continue to go up, the cost of hospital stays are crippling, the amount of debt people live with just trying to stay alive for another day, another month, another year continue to rise. As if these families and patients haven’t suffered enough!

But keep smiling! Keep hoping! Keep donating! Because “we’re fighting for a cure!”

But are we?

Reading: Run to the Light

Laura King Edwards reads an excerpt from her memoir, Run to the Light, on the Charlotte Readers Podcast READ-IN, starting at 10:35.

Laura has it all: a great job, a loving family, a new husband, and a house in her hometown, where she can watch her sister, Taylor, grow up. But one month after her wedding, Laura and her family receive shocking news: Taylor has Batten disease. A rare, fatal disease that will cause Taylor to go blind, suffer seizures, and lose the ability to walk and talk. There is no cure. Laura thought she’d get to watch her baby sister grow up, but instead she’ll have to watch her die.

Unwilling to take no cure for an answer, Laura founds a charity with family and friends, Taylor’s Tale, to save children with the disease. Meanwhile, Taylor starts running, completing her first race blind. Inspired, Laura, a lifelong runner, begins running in half marathons to raise money and awareness. And also to run away from the pain.

Article: Laura King Edwards

Laura King Edwards talks about what motivated her to write Run to the Light in an article on Child Life Mommy.

I knew I wanted to write a book so other people could understand who my sister had been and the positive change her life had inspired.

About eight months after the blindfolded race, I boarded a plane bound for Oregon, where I’d begin a new journey to run in all 50 states for Taylor. I started writing Run to the Light on that flight.
