  • Comments: This was the experience of a lifetime for me - surrounded by some of the folks closest to me, and at a time of the biggest emotional roller coaster of my life. I know that sounds melodramatic, but that's really how it was. It was also the day of the 30th anniversary of a camp for kids with cancer at which I'd been a volunteer for 16 years before moving up here. So, what a confluence of events to converge on this day - my 50th bday, camp's anniversary, my dad's yahrtzeit the day before, and of course, my thoughts of Mom always on my mind. I also pushed myself farther than I should've been able to go. The lousy weather only added to the drama of the day, and gave us even more to talk about. Finished about 10 minutes after Anne, and was only sorry that I hadn't been able to see more of her over the course of the weekend....that and that Robin wasn't able to join us, but I know she was with us in spirit! I was overwhelmed by the amount of support I received from so many, and in so many ways,

  • Comments: Great event! Weather condtions made it very demading on SUnday but the day before it was 70 and sunny, so bad luck there but nothing within the control of the RD. Having Lance Armstrong there was really cool, but rest of the cancer survivors high fiving you going into the water and at the finish really drove home what this event was all about. Great job by the volunteers, Police, and Army hang out with us in the rain making sure we were safe!
