Palo Alto, CA
Dear Friends, 2/18/10
I had a good visit in Palo Alto. Suzie drove me around to several different corporations with offices in the area. I am happy to report that Facebook gave a very positive response to our request that they hold a bone marrow donor drive. They are working with the local National Marrow Donor Program recruiter to set a date for the drive. We are waiting for confirmation from several of the other corporations.
Yesterday I went over the 1000 mile mark in my walk as I was cresting the Santa Cruz mountains! It felt really good.
Today I said good bye to Suzie and Julie and walked to Soquel, CA. I am with the Melendy family tonight. They have been very good to me. They understand intimately my passion for recruiting potential donors...their son had a bone marrow transplant just one year ago. Vicki and Greg and I had a chance to talk earlier this evening. We share a common language around our experiences of...medications, Graft vs Host Disease, what it is like to be in the hospital for nearly a year, being cautious because of suppressed immune systems, set backs, little successes...
After a nap Vicki and Greg took me with them to Team in Training the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) groundbreaking charity sports training program for more information and to see what events are available in your area go to: http://www.teamintraining.org/
Tomorrow Vicki will drive me to UC Santa Cruz where I will meet Magda for the bone marrow donor drive.
The Bay Area
Dear Friends, 2/15/10
I want to take this opportunity to thank the families that hosted me in the bay area; Michele and Tessa Moore in Lafayette, Joanna and Jeremy Brewer in Berkeley, Mason and Amelia Moore in Berkeley and Autumn Robertson and Alex Rosan in San Francisco. Thank you all so much for your hospitality and generosity!
I spent the last two days with Magda Silva and Jim Evans in San Carlos while I walked south of San Francisco as far as Palo Alto. Magda is a Recruitment Account Executive with the National Bone Marrow Registry. We have been working together for several months and will continue to work together long after I have left the bay area. Magda is passionate and energetic. It is my pleasure to work with her to grow the National Bone Marrow Registry.
Tonight I will be staying in Palo Alto with Suzie Henise and her Mother, Julie Spengler. Suzie and I are good friends from my days in Chester, CA. She drove all of the way down the mountain to see me! It is a joy to see her.
