Celebrating 20 Years in Remission

Celebrating 20 Years in Remission
Apr 20, 2010 by Robert Brown

Twenty years ago, when I was twenty years old, I was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. To celebrate all of those years in remission -- a completely clean bill of health since my last treatment in 1990 -- I've decided to run two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland, on October 25th.


I will be making regular training and fundrasing updates to my personal website -- leukemiasurvivor.com -- throughout the spring and summer. Thank you for your support!

    "Hey Rob, You may not remember me, but I am a friend of Dawn "Hambly" and was married to David Church, all of us Carleton grads. We bowled with you in Taocma many moons ago. I was just at my 20 year reunion and we were talking about people who were there and not there and you and Melissa popped up. Glad to hear what you are doing and happy to donate. You should touch base with David who has become a marathon runner as well. Another name, Pat Curtin, he is a big marathon runner as well. Good luck and Best Wishes. Susan "Schulz" Church, Carleton, Class of '90"
