Did You Miss Me? We have raised $30,883 since January!

Well, it's been almost 3 and a half months since my last post. While I have been keeping up my training and racing to raise money for the NOCC, we've had such a busy summer that even a monthly post got away from me.

Julie has now gone almost six months since her last chemo and her ports have all been removed. Her hair is growing back and she no longer wears the wig. Best of all she's been cancer free at each check up. The one year mark for her diagnosis/surgery is just a little under 2 months away.

The financial/fundraising  and emotional/friendship support from our family, friends, patients and colleagues has been amazing. I continue to be humbled by the outpouring of love and the enthusiasm with which people cheer me on for my races, and Julie for her fight agains cancer.

I am 60% towards my fundraising goal with 4 months to go, so it's still doable. Please support and give what you can:
