Sep 14, 2014

Incredible race day today to celebrate 17 weeks of training. I was so proud of the TNT team. We were out in force and we handled our business! Though I didn't make the podium in the race, thanks to your generosity I was the second place fundraiser with $8,500. Our Malibu Tri-Team raised over $80,000 for LLS. Not bad at all. Thank you for your inspiring generosity and for supporting my efforts this summer.  Here's a few picutres from the race.  (Notice in photo #3 I was in first place!)

All my best,

John

Jun 09, 2014

This is the motto my friend Holter has used in his battle with Leukemia: Left foot, right foot, repeat.  He and his wife Neela, my friends since we were eighteen or nineteen (Holter is MUCH OLDER than Neela and I), have been in the fight for four years now.  Left foot, right foot, repeat.  I think I'll be borrowing that phrase often as I celebrate Holter and Neela (and patients and their caregivers everywhere) by training and competing in the Malibu Triathlon in September.  In the process, I hope--with your help--to raise loads of money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

There we are in Houston a few weeks after Holter received his bone marrow transplant at MD Anderson.  The transplant was successful (thanks to the good doctors and to a generous German signing up to be a marrow donor) and Holter is improving daily with his new marrow. 

 

Why give to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?  If the idea of doing a little something to help save lives isn't enough, click here to see where your money will go:

Having seen a little first hand what goes into the care and treatment of patients like Holter, I tell you, people need LLS and LLS needs you people.  Give what you can and I'll swim, bike and run my ass off for you, for Holter, for Neela, and for everyone else in the fight with this piece of shit disease.

Love,

John

"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. "

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! Deb"

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"
