A Note for Caroline

By Steve | Published: May 2, 2010
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.

By Steve | Published: April 1, 2010
Many of you know that I have been nominated to run for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year award. The Man & Woman of the Year is a national campaign to raise funds to cure leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. In case you are not aware of my story, I will give you a few of the highlights. I have been an athlete my entire life, and have been racing endurance sports for close to 25 years but I am also living proof that cancer doesn’t play by any rules.

Unassuming Woman Turns Force to Be Reckoned With

By Steve | Published: March 17, 2010
Karrie Munkittrick was, in her own words, reserved and unassuming - an artist, wife and mother of two healthy daughters. Then a single event turned her into a one-woman army. Her enemy? Leukemia. Not just any leukemia, but leukemia that attacked her tiny, two-month old nephew, Austin. The entire, extended family pitched in to support Austin, doing whatever they could, and sometimes just being there with him and giving his parents breathing room and time to spend with his big brother, Hunter. But when she wasn't helping in that way, Karrie started thinking about ways to help find cures.
