Lisa, as usual, has stated it perfectly.

reply to lilhurricane
You pretty much said it Lisa. Most of us are originally here for the crunching. Because we believe in doing what we can to possibly find a cure to cancer. Crunching is easy though. It alone is not what makes us great. That's just a piece of it... Now I'm also here because I enjoy being surrounded by great people. I hope some of the kindness, dedication, brains and compassion will rub off on me. It would be hard find a better group of people...

So, hope of finding a cure is what brought this wonderful group of people together and I suppose it's that common cause that attracts this certain type of extraordinary person... so, I guess crunching for cancer IS what makes Team Discovery great.

What else would you do?


There is hope!

reply to lilhurricane
Agreed! While I haven't posted a lot lately just because of college, it's always reassuring to know that Team Discovery has such a great group of people who are compassionate, caring, kind, and friendly.

It's those aspects of Team Discovery that truly set us apart from other teams (though not dissing other teams, of course )

reply to lilhurricane
All of the above!

Everyone here is weird and wonderful.

Well, maybe I'm weird, and the rest of you guys are wonderful.

Beautiful post Lisa, but then I would truly expect nothing less from you or any other member of this awesome family.

I am so proud to be part of this team and family.

Thanks for your dedication all. We will nail this.

Team Discovery

What's so great about Team Discovery?

It surprises me not that the Princess of Purple not only started this thread, but for the most part pretty much answered her own question, pretty much, but not completely.

You all know the rollercoaster that my life has been over the past 10 months. There is not a person alive that can convince me that I would be where I am today without the TD Mojo that enveloped me in my time of need. I am but one of many that that Mojo has helped to overcome adversity. I am sure that the others would join me in saying that there are not words to express our heartfelt gratitude for all of you unselfishly being there for us in our time of need.

I met our Princess of Purple not long after she became a member here at BBR. Since January of 2003 Miss Lisa has become a very close friend. We have been through lots of things together, her first hurricane included. Some would call me a packrat, perhaps I am. Believe it or not, right now in my IM history there are 6,526 messages between the two of us, and that only goes back to January of 2004, so there is a whole year missing. We have talked about a lot of stuff. We have shared good times as well as bad. We have shared laughter and tears. She was always there, and knew just when to drop a message and say hello.

I know that I am not the only one that Lisa has helped over the three plus years she has been here. I know there are many others. And so Miss Princess of Purple, yes you are right that it is the friendships, the fun, the comraderie, the crunching and the many many out there that we all do our damndest to help. However, I am sure that it is nothing but pure unadulterated modesty that kept you from including yourself in that list. Lisa's drive and unrelenting enthusiasm are a very big and integral part of Team Discovery. I would go so far as to say that we are were we are today at least partially because of those qualities.

I'll undoubtedly be receiving IM number 6,527 within a few minutes for what I have just posted. That is okay though. We have disagreed about other things too in the past.

Y'all make my so proud

reply to lilhurricane
Aww. I totally agree on all counts.

Although it seems as though I never visit anymore, I am always thinking of all of you.

That reminds me, I still gotta get TSC on this thing...

reply to lilhurricane
You won't get an argument from me on this.

Go Team Discovery!

reply to lilhurricane
Well Said Lisa!!!!

reply to lilhurricane
Can't say much more then that Lisa!! Very poetic of you .

reply to lilhurricane
What's so great about this team is one of the greatest things in the universe...hope. Such a small word, but it means so much. And it means even more when it can be shared with such a wonderful group of people.
