Dear Family & Friends -
Attached is a link to (and copy of) an article about a friend of mine
from Cyclists Combating Cancer. Scott raised $12 million in venture capital
for his startup company last year while undergoing chemotherapy and a bone
marrow transplant. There is another inspiring CEO story as well. I am
certain I could not have logged 100,000 miles visiting customers this
year.

I continue to believe we cannot take the obstacles put in our way "lying
down". Its important for me to keep firmly in mind as I head towards my
6th round of chemotherapy. No final decision yet but I might continue on for
another 6+ months since I am enjoying it so much. Could be limited wine
for me for some time. Will keep you posted. I am still training for the
Lance Armstrong Foundation Ride For The Roses in October, just at a slightly
slower pace. More on that soon as well.
In the meantime enjoy a good glass of vino for me (especially the red
kind). And thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and support! I am blessed
to have you all in my life. You are keeping me going, even those of you who
I have not seen in a very long time.
Have a great weekend!
