So ends our chapter on Remission Run. After five years of very hard, trying, but rewarding work, our family is moving on to the next chapter of our lives. We are grateful to everyone that has supported us through the years. We are thankful to all the athletes that came out and ran the race each year. We are indebted to our volunteers who were relentless at getting the job done. As Dana-Susan and I raised our glasses of champagne last night, we celebrated Remission Run and thanked God for remission.
So what is next? We don't know. We will still raise awareness about cancer. We will still raise funds for cancer research. We are just not sure of the vehicle we will be using to do this.
Thank you all for celebrating my remission for five years in a row with a party of over a thousand guests. Thank you for your passion to help us find a cure.
"For every FINISH LINE tape a runner breaks, complete
with the cheers of the crowd and the clicking of hundreds of cameras, there are
the hours of hard and often lonely work that rarely gets talked about." ~ Grete

I so wished I could have been there in person, but I ran hard for you and every survivor out there!
