The race is on!!!


This is a photo of Dan, "Dr. Nick," and Dion!

Dan and I are so excited about the Tower of Terror race this weekend! We are having a "pep rally/open house" this weekend for those of you who want to stop by before the event. We are going to take photos and just give Dan a boost of encouragement. Please feel free to stop by for a quick visit between 3-5 pm. Unfortunately, due to the importance of keeping Dan as germ free as possible, we are trying to limit the number of small children (and adults with colds) here at the house. Please help us keep Dan healthy!

For those of you who are running, don't forget to pick up your race packet at Pleasure Island Motion on Friday from 3-8PM or Saturday from 10AM-4PM. There are party tickets still available for those of you who just want to join in the fun.

This weekend is so special to us. Dan set this date months ago when we needed something to work towards and it is exciting to finally be experiencing it. Family and friends from all over the country will be here for the weekend.

Last weekend was another milestone for us. Dan and I were able to meet with Dion and his wonderful wife, Sofie. They took time out of their family vacation to sit down with us and share their GBM 4 battle experiences. For those of you who are new to our journey, Dion is a GBM 4 survivor (6 years from diagnosis/tumor removal). He and Dan met through divine intervention. Dion has mentored and encouraged Dan throughout this process. This past Monday, Dion had his annual MRI and it came out clean (praise God)! Dion and his wonderful wife are a huge source of encouragement for us.

I look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday. I will post photos as soon as I can.

Lots of love,
Leah (and Dan)

Leah and Dan,
This last weekend was certainly an example of answered prayer. It was amazing that so many special friends and family were able to participate. It was such a blessing that Dan had the energy and fitness to run! This deserves an extra "Thank you, Jesus!" We enjoyed our part.
Love, Mom/Kathy
