Here we go...

This is about to be a big weekend.
After a trip to the dentist, Brendan learned that he has to get his wisdom teeth pulled before he starts treatment. So tomorrow morning, Brendan will get to endure the FUN we all know that is getting your wisdom teeth removed.
The day after that, he starts treatment. The beginning of his 12 weeks of chemo.
I don't know about you - but the only thing I did after I got my wisdom teeth pulled was lay on a couch with blood soaked cotton in my mouth and cry while my mother tried to feed me baby food. Which is obviously the most glamorous, classy, mature, and strong way to handle the situation.
If I have yet to convince you of Brendan's might - he is facing the idea of blood soaked cotton mouth while getting poisoned in stride.

I take the MCAT (again) on the 20th - which, once I get it over with, will be a relief. Not only for freedom sake, but now I will be available just in case my brother isn't feeling like a super hero on some days.
The 22nd is the Lymphomathon, and within the past week there has been a mighty surge in team members, donations, and all around support. As of today we have raised $2,665 and have over 30 people who will be walking (or strolling).

Last night I tried to buy purple nail polish, and instead it has come out iridescent. It wasn't until after that I looked at the name of it: Grape Going!
As if it knew.
Hodgkin's purple is not iridescent, FYI.
If you're looking to crash the Lymphomathon, we will be the rowdies wearing lime green. If you need any more incentive, there will also be snacks, face painting, and the Jesse White Tumblers.
(RIGHT!?!) Party crashers welcome.

All the Lymphomathon shirts are happening because of the one and only Kyle Gibson (seen here in his normal, everyday apparel) . He will be at the walk with us this weekend, and we will all be walking a little harder to support his family, who have also very recently waged a war against a mighty mean cancer. So send some of your positive vibes and thoughts his way if you have some to spare.
