The mountains of North Carolina are incredibly soothing and relaxing. We had a quiet day in camp today getting caught up on a number of items including e-mail.
Via e-mail I heard that the son of a man I worked with has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I had the pleasure of working with Allen a number of years ago and he is as hard working, funny and gentle as anyone you will ever meet. Allen's wife & family have always been the center of his universe. His son Denver's cancer is in remission however he has been through a lot.
Allen is in training to ride a bicycle 100 miles in the Sea Gull Century in Salisbury, MD in order to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
LLS does excellent work and all the money raised by them goes to funding research to fight these terrible diseases. We came to know of their excellent work when Mary Lynn's dad was taken from us by leukemia 14 years ago.
You can learn more about Denver & Allen here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/va/seagull08/abridwell
Please include Denver and his family in your thoughts & prayers.
The weather forecast is for some scattered rainstorms here in the mountains. We leave this slice of heaven on Sunday and make our way to Tennessee.
Until then -- See Ya!
