Undy 5000

Colon Cancer had touched yet another friend.  I am so glad to see organizations like the Colon Cancer Alliance, and events like the Undy 5000 that work to raise support and awareness for colon cancer

Here we are with our team for the Undy 5000 yesterday. All in all, I think we all enjoyed the experience! I enjoyed hearing the survivor stories, and seeing the survivors participating.

Taryn was able to attend.  We were so glad to see her doing so well.  She has appointments in Houston at MD Anderson next week.

Look at Amelia's fist pump!

Evan brought home 2nd place in his age group.  However, when we were looking at the results online, we found that his time was actually 50 seconds faster than the winner's!  I was really proud of him.  Here he is with his PE teacher Ms. Singer.

Finish time 26:28--he did say he felt like throwing up when he finished....

Now, the Fighting Noodle Update.  Matthew had a follow up with his oncologist at MDA, which is required before resuming chemo after a hospitalization.  Matthew is OK, but he has been experiencing more pain.  The doctor had several potential scenarios, but could not give the actual cause.  They prescribed a longer lasting painkiller, which will hopefully allow him to sleep better.  That is about all I have for now.   

Stay tuned-- a new Matthew project story is coming soon!
