recently a friend was given 3 months by doctors to live (shes just turned 21!) shes one of the most amazing snow enthuesiest, freerides/freestyles as hard as anyone, boards and tele's just cos she can. having just finished her 4th year of endless winters with the season at squaw valley. so her priorities have been set and shes riding everwhere shes ever dreamed, travelling to all the places she desires, and even heli-skiing.

So the question is: If you had three months to live, what would you do?




but, living her dreams costs money. i realise people on this site aren't made of money but if you have a desire to help out this amazing person and a special friend with anything you can spare it would be greatly appreciated by more people than you could imagine. please pm me for details of her fund.

thats sad to hear...what happened to her?

If I had 3 months to live...fuck...i dunno. I'd like to travel but I wouldn't want to miss out on time with the people i cared about. Maybe take them with me and go to many different places so everyone has a super sick last memory (a trip) with me.

cancer... bitch hey!

i couldnt think of anything worse to hear from the docs. it always seems now days that cancer isn't a death sentence, but when you're young and dont expect it it deosnt get diagnosed quick enough and hard decissions have to be made regarding treatment. chemo and radio may mean more time but what sort of quality?

that would be aweful^

but for three months, i would def travel the world, meet as many people as i could, and try to experience anything ive ever thought of doing, but the last thing i would do is mope around just wondering what day i was gonna leave..because regret is the worst thing to live with

Shes young though...no harm in trying to see if a treatment works/prolongs life...

ya chemo and radiation might not be worth it if it won't give her a lot more time

But...I would ski a lot, probably do some hookers, and travel a ton, and just have a good time

i would set aside 2 months for the craziest skiing shit i could do. the first month i would ski some BADASS places, heli ski etc. then the next month i would try everything i physically could. crazy ass tricks etc.

the 3ish weeks i would try to hang out with the people i care for the most. the last week, i would try every drug i could get my hands on and just go wild. then lastly i would probably attempt some impossible world record and go out in glory.

haha actually that all sounds pretty fucking sweet.

i know that if im ever just chilling in my death bed waiting for the day that I dont wake up, im gonna say fuck it, get a fuckload of drugs, take them on a plane, eat/inject/smoke the drugs I have, then jump out the plane.  I am pretty sure that would be one of the most peaceful deaths just falling through the sky.

honestly, i'd probably spend a lot of it feeling depressed. And i'm not sure i'd tell anyone but the people closest to me because i wouldn't want everyone trying to take pity and hang out with me just so they themselves feel as if they made a difference. Then one day i guess i would just simply disappear.

my dad lived 5 years longer than he was supposed to, so its not impossible. he had pancreatic cancer, what type does she have. and chemo and radio sucks not very good quality of life at all but its about being optomistic really
