See, this is why I’m such a cynic these days. Not just when people tell me stories about their military careers, but anything, really. It seems that the whole world is nothing but a bunch of liars. There’s this Tracy dart person in Seattle who was something of a local celebrity. She claimed to be a three-time cancer survivor. She was the poster child of “Team Tracy” which raised close to 1\/2 million dollars for cancer research. Now, it seems that she never had cancer, not even once<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, another member of Team Tracy called Welch and asked to meet face-to-face.<\/p>\n

“The first words were ‘she doesn’t have cancer’, ” Welch said. ” ‘She never had cancer’ were the second words, and it just blew my mind.”<\/p>\n

The Susan G. Komen Foundation is also asking questions about Dart. Team Tracy has raised more than $400,000 for them over the past decade. This week, however, Dart’s family contacted them with concerns.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t say we’re angry,” Welch said. “I would say she needs help, and I hope she gets it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, don’t be angry that she’s been leading you all on for her personal satisfaction for a decade or more. She’s in the jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, so even if they do prosecute her, the courts will rule that it’s her right to say what she wants. here’s a quote from poor Tracy from 2010;<\/p>\n

“I’ve tried so hard to find a good reason why I had to go through this, why has this happened to me, and why I am now having to go through this a second time,” she said. “All I can think of is that I am meant to get out and spread the word that breast cancer doesn’t just effect older women. We all have to be diligent about self-breast exams and going in for mammograms. If it runs in families we have to get on top of it sooner.”<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

“I was diagnosed May, 2008, when I was 33,” said Dart. “I’ve gone through this twice. I had a lumpectomy and started with radiation and then did the oral form of chemotherapy. It comes in a pill. My blood work and tests all came back clear after that, for about eight months. Then last April I did one of my monthly checkups and the doctor found something. I got another lumpectomy and started radiation. I just started IV chemotherapy, which has stronger side effects than the pills. This time of course my hair has fallen out and I am more fatigued, kind of like I have a flu, with cold and hot flashes following the treatment. It’s no fun. Again, I figure this is what I have to do and I’ll do it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, he family went to the hospital and could find no records of her having cancer. It sounds like a good, solid stolen valor bust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
