WOW'd

WOW - That sums up the day perfectly in sooo many ways!!!!

WOW'd at the Staples Bounce

• WOW to Peter Hart, Sales Manager at Staples in Charlton for making this day happen
• WOW to his team for all their infinite support, smiles and attending to our needs throughout the day - Nisha, Ana, Ibrahim, Jamie, Victor, and Mr. Abdulganiyu
• WOW to Staples Head Office UK who have agreed to match £ for £ = totalling £500 raised for the day
• WOW to all those patrons and passers-by who donated to our cause, making a huge difference
• WOW to Jo, the professional photographer for her great shots to approach local press with this story
• WOW to our legs for supporting us in bouncing 46,791 times today (8.5 hours of bouncing)

WOW to Kathleen

• WOW to Kathleen making an appointment with the hairsalon today. I received a call during the bounce -she woke up this morning and found most of her remaining hair was loose on her pillow case. Today was the day we knew would always come - the day she'd shave her head. She was naturally feeling anxious so I comforted her with the winning woman's sure-fire approach: (1) Face the moment looking great in her favorite outfit and (2) reward herself afterwards by getting a nice pair of earrings because we'd see her beautiful ears even more
• WOW to the fact she turned shaving her head, a commonly traumatic event for cancer patients, into an experience of self-appreciation
• WOW that she loves her new look so much she decided not to wear a scarf when she left the hair salon
• WOW to the fact that she is laughing again and she has great moments in the day
• WOW to the fact that she's feeling herself more and more when the side effects of chemo subside
• WOW to her courage to carry on each day, despite her discomfort and unfamiliar experiences
• WOW to her ability to continue to inspire others through her experience

WOW to Terry

• WOW to Kathleen's friend, Terry, for shaving his head today so she wouldn't go through this alone
• WOW to the fact that he finds her even more beautiful without her hair, for he says he can see her beautiful features even more
• WOW to Terry for being by her side since the beginning
• WOW to the fact he moved house just before her surgery so he could be only 20 minutes away vs. 1 hour 20 minutes
• WOW that he loves her for her true self

WOW to Christoph

• WOW to Christoph to the fab posters he made today
• WOW to all his initiatives in this campaign - currently making a DVD of the story
• WOW to his love for Kathleen and her kids
• WOW to the fact that he is such incredible partner and he touches so many peoples hearts with his kindess, sincerity and sense of team spirit
• WOW to his sense of fun that he sung two of Kathleen's favorite songs with me into the phone when she was at the hair salon
