Tonight, I watched a woman in her 80's, fighting cancer, get on the Zipline in Sherwood Forest and ride it. Janice and her team loved Mrs. Greene as they prepared her for this short but significant ride. Shelby fitted her into a harness with quiet conversation and a lot of respect. I could see it in the way that she touched her. There wasn't a lot of drama, yet there was a story being told to all of us standing there watching her as she steadily climbed the 25 foot ladder. Tiffany clipped her in and then in a few meditated moments Christina Greene step off the platform and zipped down the line. Applause and tears broke out. We all held the community smile. It is why they come to Family Camp.
It wasn't about an older woman riding a zipline. It was someone battling for life... and winning.
