Thank You St. Max Kolbe

I am completely amazed at the amount of support that I have received from so many people for my Man of the Year campaign. People seem to be coming out of the woodwork in support of me, and in support of the fight against blood cancers. I have relied quite heavily on a few key individuals and they know who they are. I have also received many donations from folks that I don’t event know. Last week I was made aware of another effort on my behalf that really took my breath away.

A Note for Caroline

Dear Caroline, Adam, and the entire extended Cranston & Gallagher clan, many many people are holding you all close at this time. I know we all wish we could dig into our pockets and pull out that magic pill or silver anti leukemia bullet. Sadly, we can't. But I work everyday in trying to make that a reality some day. What we can offer is a community filled with love and support for all of you.

State of My Union

Greetings. I have been quite busy as of late which is the reason for my limited writing. All is going very well though. Our TEAM IN TRAINING athletes are coming off an outstanding weekend in St. Petersburg Florida at the St. Anthony’s triathlon. We had two slight casualties during the course of the race and as unfortunate as that is, the dignity and courage that both athletes displayed through their disappointment makes them both champions in my book.
