"Determination is helping me fight this lymphoma, and will continue to help me keep my course of treatment until I have beaten my disease."
The above is an excerpt from Brendan's personal statement for medical school. Reading it might have made me cry a little.
...he's my hero.

In one week, we have raised $810 dollars for the Lymphomathon. I won't ever be able to express enough gratitude to the people who are contributing, and especially those who have signed up to walk alongside us in August. There are infinite spots available and plenty of time to sign up and join - no donation required, just the desire to saunter in the Sunday sunshine.
