Hello! Some of you have already heard the good news. Disney is having a race on October 27th for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The race starts at 9:00pm and has a party afterwards with access to a few rides at MGM Studios. (Click here to register for the race.) I contacted the Tug McGraw Foundation last week and asked if I could raise money for their foundation. (The Tug Mcgraw Foundation is a Glioblastoma IV specific foundation based out of Duke University. Check out the link for more info.) They were delighted! They even went so far as to offer sponsoring me for the race! So far several of my family and friends have signed up for the race. (Unfortunately right now the only race available is the 13k but i am attempting to get us in the 6.5k.) Duke University is one of the three best brain tumor centers in the U.S. A lot of incredible and groundbreaking research is being done there. Thank and God bless all of you.
I have started my third week of treatments and so far so good. I am experiencing some mild side effects but all is manageable with proper medication. (Sometimes drugs really are a God send.) We have had a solid week of family in town which has been a lot of fun. Our house feels somewhat empty after all of the adults and children have gone. Thanks to all who continue to keep touch and stop by and drop off food, etc. Your generosity has been wonderful. I know I promised some stories about divine intervention but with the race info that will have to wait until my next posting. (This one would have been done sooner except Comcast was down all day yesterday. Sorry)
Once again God bless you all and please keep praying for total healing! We love you!

(Dan mentioned that he was going to do a shirt for the race so I put one together for him. Once I found a site that could print shirts on demand I just added a bunch of their other items. This is just for fun and is not a fund-raiser of any kind.

I just registered. You can rent Seways in Celebration right?
yes, you can rent segways but i'm not sure disney will allow you to race one. awesome design on the shirt!
Anyone interested in running the Tower Zone Race on October 27 has two options; you must register for the 13k. At that point you can either run the 6.5k or the 13k. The way it will work is the race will have a u-turn for the 6.5k that will take those runners (including me) back towards MGM Studios. Those who wish to test themselves (and get their heads examined, Roger, Carla) can keep going and finish the 13k. Those of us who are sane will be back at the party drinking a cold one and waiting for those who decide to run the half marathon. The only catch is that you must pay the $65 dollars for the 13k. Disney will not reimburse the $25 dollar difference. For those who are interested I have set up a block of rooms at the Celebration hotel. (407-566-6000) What is normally a $200 dollar room they are going to give to us for $160. The tax rates etc. will all be lower as well. All you have to tell them is that you are member of the Sams Party. At this point I would recommend that if you are considering running the race go ahead and register before the race fills up. I look forward to seeing all of you there.
