Earning Wings: The Beginning of A New Journey

"Cancer.  The first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before i go to sleep.  it consumes my day but I will not let it dictate my life.  happiness, encouragement, and inspiration are my daily goals.  If I have given you that, then my job is done an I will do it all over again tomorrow."  Marta Campos

It is with great sadness that we, the Campos family share with you the following news.  On Saturday November 17, 2012, our dear beloved Marta earned her wings.  She was surrounded by her family, beloved cats, and all the positive energy and prayers from her local and international support community.  Marta wanted her family to hold two memorials, one in Washington state and one in California.  She wished us to celebrate her life and live ours to the fullest.  She was grateful to the many individuals in her life.

Please accept our apologies for the delay in updating this blog.  However, we thank you for allowing us to mourn in privacy.

Donations can be made to the following charities:  No Stomach for Cancer, American Cancer Society, and Homeless Cat Network (where she adopted Dash from).

Cards to the family can be sent to:  Campos Family, c/o Team Marta, 4016 Lake Washington Blvd N #3, Renton WA  98056.

We currently have a limited supply of wrist bands for those who have not yet requested one.  Please let us know if you have not requested one and would like one.  We will not be reordering anymore once these are gone.

Thank you for reading and sharing her blog.  We leave you with one more quote from Marta.

"I've realized that I will never lose my battle against cancer.  Although there is no cure and I will earn my wings one day, filling my life with beautiful people an experiences makes me a winner.  I love my family, friends, and supporters dearly.  Thank you all for helping me create a life worth living when it matters most."  Marta Campos

Marta thanking everyone on 11/14/12.
She loved you all.
