I’ve added a page which explains how I came to be diagnosed with ALL. It seemed appropriate.
My good friend Stephanie is participating in the Mooseman Triathlon, a 32 mile swim/bike/run, on June 5 (her birthday!) as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. She became involved after my diagnosis and is training in my name – I couldn’t possibly be more touched by what she’s doing. LLS has been an incredible resource for me since I was diagnosed and they continue to make huge strides in building a community focused on fighting blood cancers. I’ve included a link to her fundraising page, anything you can do to support her is greatly appreciated. 32 miles!
I received a wonderful package of snowflakes – “a taste of the outdoors” – from Carly Therkelsen and family today to brighten up my room. My mother likes to point out how patently unwilling I was to decorate my hospital room in the beginning, I protested that I wasn’t “moving in” and didn’t need to make the place too comfortable. It really does make a difference though, i’ll have to post some pictures of the other wonderful things my friends and family have sent. Thanks Therkelsens!
