    I'll be walking this March in my local race for the cure, as I do every year. I started doing it for an aunt who's beaten that crap twice. I'll be thinking of Kay Yow as well this year as I do the circuit.

    The event I walk in even has an option for paying and sleeping in. If you can do this in your area, please do.

    Buried my wife's mom and my wife's uncle, on back-to-back days over Christmas.
    Cancer got both of them and we watched over the past year how it changes its victims.
    Awful to witness.

    Rest in Peace, Coach.
    Condolences to any and all who knew and cared for the woman.

    Echo what's been said. RIP to a legend.

    And whoever said earlier that the reoccurance is the real trouble, spot on. I know way too many people who beat it once. When it comes back, well, it usually isn't so good.

    My heart sank the other day when I saw in the scroll that she'd gone in the hospital.

    Again, RIP to a legend.

    I hate to give ESPN credit on too many things, but they covered the shit out of this.

    I wonder how much play this story would have gotten if it happened next week.

    No issues here with giving ESPN plenty of credit for doing good work on Kay Yow. Kudos, Bristol.

    I've been avoiding this thread for three days, because I knew Kay personally and covered her teams for many years.

    We all miss you, Kay.
