I don't usually post often, mainly just lurk, but I feel like this is a worthy post. My mom, Marilyn, is a K-State alum and avid fan. We attended almost every home football game together for 10 years and basketball games for 4 years before I left home to attend Kansas State a few years ago. We have attended over half of K-State's bowl games. Basically she lives and breathes purple and it's created a special bond between us.
Sadly, she was diagnosed with cancer this summer. She had surgery, but it was too late and the cancer had already spread. She just started her chemotherapy and radiation treatment today. She will be attending this weekends game, but it will most likely be the last game she can attend this football season and she will probably miss almost every basketball game.
Anyway, sorry for being so long winded but she would really appreciate her fellow Wildcat's prayers as would I. K-State has always carried the underdog mentality and we have prevailed countless times. I am confident my mom will beat cancer and be able to attend K-State events with me for years to come. Thank you!
