"...that would be an honor"

Training is going fine right now. On that note, there is nothing interesting to share. However, I indicated in my first post that if any of you had been touched by cancer in some way to tell me your story, and I would be running for you too. Well, I received an e-mail from my friend, Bonnie Pollen, yesterday, after sending my appeal for support. She told me that she received my e-mail "on the very day I was told my breast biopsy is positive for cancer."

Fortunately for Bonnie, and her family, the form of breast cancer she has is treatable, with a 99% cure rate. I told her that I was going to write this and she said, "that would be an honor". So today I am honoring Bonnie and offering a prayer that she and her family weather this storm with strength and humility. Bonnie, you are not alone, and know that I am also running for you.

I have added two lists on my blog page. To honor cancer survivors and those who have lost the battle. I am defining cancer survivors as those who are currently battling cancer, and those who have battled cancer and won.

If you have nominations for either list, let me know. I have decided to dedicate my run to every person who is added to both lists.

Thanks,
Neal
