"John is using Neela and me, unabashedly culling favor and sympathy. And I am all for it. This is Holter Graham, I weighed 155 when this started, I weigh 118 now, I ran tris when the is started, I can't run now, but will again, and I approve this message. John Sloan is, simply, a good man. He's also an avaricious bastard who will compete harder the more dough he's carrying on his shoulders. So break your banks. LLS helps people who need help--a simple, huge truth. And Team in Training creates hope, accomplishment, and community.
Thank you, John. Now get your ass out there and train."

"Thank you, John! Go, go, go! Be safe and hydrate! I heart LLS and Team in Training. Thanks to them, too, for all they do--especially helping in practical, everyday ways that make all the difference. Being alive is expensive and cancer is quadruply so. Give to LLS and in addition to helping fight these diseases in general, you'll also be helping people/families touched by cancer who just need some extra money for "small" but very important things, like taking a cab instead of a bus to treatment (public transport rocks but not when you're immunosuppressed!). Love you, John. What are your legs? Springs. Steel springs. "

"I realize this may not help Holter directly, but this is at least my way of sending good vibes and best wishes to he and Neela, and some extra pep in the step for you, John. My uncle died of bone marrow cancer a long time ago, and seeing what that kind of cancer did to a former cop was pretty sobering. Run/swim/bike your ass off, man. Is there cross-country skiing/target shooting in a triathlon? (that's a joke) The wind at your back, homie. Much love to all three of you."

"It gives me an embarrassingly immense amount of satisfaction that you are kicking the shit out of blood cancer for Holter, and so many others. You, and Holter and Neela have all of my support, inspired by a post from Alex and Catia. You honor my cousin, Sue Oberholtzer, a blood cancer survivor now in her fourth year of remission. Team in Training is an excellent source of support in the efforts to eradicate cancer from the human body and our vocabulary forever. As the French cheered in my 2010 Paris Marathon with TNT, "Allez, Allez, Allez!"

"Jives,
Perhaps the only thing stronger than the bond of a parent and child is that of a close friendship. Certainly you, Neela and Holter have found such a gift in your friendship. The Downs Family supports your efforts.."good show" (as Phil just said).
We also want to show our support for Holter and Neela by spreading the word about the works of Team in Training and donating to the fight. They will remain in our prayers. Thank you for the reminder as to how each of us taking a small action can help others. Holter's fight is tougher than a Triathlon but hell you already knew that--which probably makes your training easier! So with such support and his positive attitude Holter will beat this disease and you will complete another Triathlon!
Love you much John!

"My brother, Lee, lost his sight due to an accident on his 17th birthday, due to cancer, my dear mom went to meet her heavenly savior at the young age of 53, my dear dad lived a good life to the age of 85 living on oxygen his last 2 years. We are all made stronger by our daily trials and by God's grace we endure and shine! John you are shining brightly as an inspiration to all especially to your dear friends Holter and Neela. My niece, Kathryn ran a marathon last year to raise money for cancer research in honor of my mom Kathryn, her name sake. She wrote her name all the way down both arms and when she felt like giving up, she looked at her name and kept her arms pumping and crossed the finish line... as I know you will do John! Phillipians 4:13 - I can do all this through him who gives me strength. GO JOHN!! GO HOLTER!!!Live Life to the fullest!! Hugs, Peggy & Charley, Kelsey, Allison, and Christopher"
