What a cool, brisk Sunday morning for the Lincoln Marathon! Melissa's good friend, Laura, ran the half marathon in her honor! Laura and Danae were part of "Team in Training" for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! Together these girls raised over $6000! It was fun and also an emotional time for us. Steve, Melissa, and I cheered Larua and Danae on as they ran in her honor! We are so proud of them!

Round 7 of chemo was completed on Friday. Melissa's lab work continues to be good. Dr. Bierman, her oncologist, and Maribeth, her nurse, enjoy seeing Melissa and her upbeat smile! They both remarked how great she looks!
We continue to pray and thank God for Melissa's positive attitude and her courageous strength to handle this disease! Steve and I thank you for your many prayers and continuous support. We are blessed to have all of you praying for Melissa!

MELISSA...YOU LOOK SOOOO GREAT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. PRAYERS CONTINUE!

Wow! your friends raised a lot of money for a good cause. Way to go. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh, reading about your friends doing a race for you brought back wonderful memories as it was such an emotional experience for me as well. It is amazing how giving and strong friends and supporters are. Those people make it easy to keep fighting! Seeing all that purple running in San Diego and Phoenix was such an amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteAlways thinking of you!
