LLS Leukemia Cup Regatta Event Weekend is this Weekend (9/23-25)

Karin and I will be sailing with Bob Hastie on Tumultous. She normally plays in the Tennis Tournament, but had some foot problems. She added another this week, a sprain in her foot that will keep her from running for at least a week.

This is more than a weekend. Events actually take place all month. There has been a 5K run (Run for Jane), a golf tournament, and a shooting clay tournament. This weekend there will be two days of inshore fishing, tennis and sailing regattas. The combined Savannah events are usually #2 in the US in fundraising.

Bob still needs some sponsors. Try the following link.

Keep us in mind this weekend.

Celebrating a Second Chance at Life

A week and a half ago I attended a fantastic symposium in Atlanta sponsored by BMTinfonet.org for bone marrow, stem cell & cord blood transplant survivors. There were hundreds of survivors there similar to me who "get" what we've been through.

BMTinfonet.org is a fantastic resource for anyone facing a stem cell transplant. They have fantastic accurate information and many resources. If you know of anyone with blood cancers or or other blood disorders that may be facing the need for transplant, contact me (I have a list of accurate/pertinent resources available on the internet.

I attended some very informative sessions on dealing with my health after transplant, and I was able to ask question to 7 of the best transplant Physicians in the United States.

I am truly blessed to be where I am and as well as I am. I met, saw, and heard from many folks that are not as well as me and have many serious lingering effects from their cancers and therapies.

Take care,

Mark
