2nd reason to beat cancer - Alex goes to the beach!

Happy New Year, my friends! Excited to report I hit the second goal on my Bucket List with a Twist!

I’m Alex and I have cancer. But cancer can be beaten and there is so much I haven’t done in life, that I decided I’m not giving up.

#2 Reason to beat cancer — Walk on the beach. Done!

This Christmas I decided to go on an adventure! I know these cool cats in California so I thought — let me zip over and have a fur-filled get together for the holidays.

I booked my ticket and set off.

Unlike some cats, I absolutely love airplane food and transit lounges and everything to do with traveling.

Resting by the departure lounge window, I daydreamed, watching the majestic planes take off and land.

I inhaled airport smells, getting the news on the block, meeting other traveling cool cats, catching the occasional whiff of a dog — but now that I had officially made a dog friend as my first Bucket List with a Twist item, I knew those peculiar critters were ok too, so I didn’t mind.

I’d had my human brush me and put my travel bow tie on, so I knew I was irresistible.

I even snoozed.

I went about my business in a special cool cat lounge, which featured green ‘grass’ to walk on. I tried chewing and clawing at it a bit, but it didn’t budge. Oh, well.

After I arrived I had so much fun in California! Met my friends, ate a lot, laughed even more, but most importantly…

I went to the beach!

And oh, boy, was it cold!!!

My human wouldn’t let me go for a swim, and also kept me on a leash, but I didn’t argue, whatever curls his whiskers.

I was on the beach, sand between my toes, in my tail and.. in other places! I loved the sun on my face, the rumble of the ocean behind me, and nothing else mattered!

I am definitely coming back!

And this is how I ticked the second item off my Bucket List with a twist! 🙂 Thanks for being here with me!

Before you go, please donate to help me reach this week’s $1,000 goal — all of which goes towards my cancer treatments.

(My human paid for my travels — he does these things, I am quite lucky with him that way.)

Love,
Alex

Will you join me in my adventure to life?

Since I started receiving chemotherapy I am feeling great. To keep beating cancer into a corner I must continue treatment for a while longer. Over the next weeks I will be ticking life-moments off my wish list, and fundraising for my treatment.

With each fundraiser campaign I will aim to raise $1,000.

The total cost of my life is over $10,000.
