That means this….. if you are 4, 14, 44 and you are diagnosed with cancer… any kind….. the 14-year-old automatically had the worst prognosis. I am being very very general [...]

It’s not often that I struggle to find the words to say after an event. Today I am struggling. It was so much more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Sit back, grab a good latte, and thank you for allowing me to share this experience with you. The Race I don’t have much [...]

I got to meet Melissa’s Dad for the first time last night. He reminded me of my father in both stature and demeanor. I can see the hole in his heart that losing his daughter has left. There is a special bond between fathers and daughters, and you could feel theirs, even though she is [...]
