Cancer Strikes Again

You might think that my family has endured enough hardship with the loss of my father, loss of my daughter and wife's cancer diagosis that spanned the time from 2002-2004. It is this same way of thinking that makes Vegas a lot of money when someone bets his life savings on Red after seeing Black come up 9 times in a row on the Roulette Wheel. Cancer knows no prejudice and has once again touched my family.

On November 3, 2009, my wife and I were informed that 5 years after her first battle with cancer, it has returned. As of this writing, this is all I know. The next few weeks are filled with doctor and surgeon appointments that will shed light on what is to come. I can do nothing but be there for my wife. If I could take away the cancer.......without blinking an eye, I would. If I could step in front of a train to guarantee my wife is okay, I would. I can not do any of these things but what I can do is try to raise funds in honor of the battle only she can fight. I will be keeping a blog about our family's journey and my personal journey with Team in Training as I prepare for the Lavaman Triatlon in March 2010. You can read and follow my blog at:

If you would like a copy of the fundraising letter I have prepared, please email me at tntcoachchris@yahoo.com and I will provide it to you. Thanks so much for your visit and thanks so much to everyone that has helped me over the years to raise over $50,000 to help rid the world of such a horrible disease. My wish is that our kids in the future will have to find out about cancer by reading their history books. Please join me yet again and help honor the battle of my beautiful wife so that someday we can celebrate when the cure for cancer is announced. That will be an amazing day and you can be a part of it right now. God Bless.
