CancerCare’s Walk for Hope

I continue to be extremely grateful to all of you for your help during the last four months.  I’ve committed to taking all that kindness that I absorbed and returning it back to the world, and doing that in honor of all of you.  Ironically, this means returning to the well (that’s you, people ).

In Fairfield on Sunday, September 13th  Renee and I will be walking in CancerCare’s Walk for Hope, an annual CancerCare fundraiser.  If you can, please donate, walk with us, or even just spread the word to others who might be interested.  All the funds will be used by CancerCare to help other cancer patients in their fight.

So far we’ve raised $595 $645 $745 $870 and added three team members, which is an awesome start. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed $$ and will contribute their time.

To donate yourself or learn more, please visit our team’s online home. (will open in a new tab or window).

It’s been a blazing fast five weeks since I got the all clear from Dr. Motzer. Everything that had been put on hold for this cancer battle roared back to the foreground. Work, socializing, normal exercise and activity…they all returned to center stage. On the other hand, cancer stuff (like this blog) were neglected almost immediately.

Not surprisingly, the question I hear the most often is: “how are you feeling?” The answer is that I feel great! My hair is finally back, and I only have one niggling remaining symptom. Otherwise my energy is more or less normal, my fitness level has improved, and I even got some sun. It is/was a big shift going back to work after months off, but it was nice to focus on something else besides my health.

But enough about me. This post is really about all of you.

I really don’t know the words that can express how important all of you were in helping me maintain the right attitude during this whole thing. It’s just something you have to experience to truly understand, although I certainly don’t wish it on anyone. But let me just say this, it is of critical importance and you all delivered it in bountiful quantities.
