Big Day Today! 3000 Miles to the Cure - mile 1...



Today Maria starts her trek across america. What an amazing feat of bravery, endurance, and dedication. There are a number of ways that you can follow along and be involved. There is a page that will help you locate where maria is each day at Where is Maria. There is also a facebook page where you can sign-up to pray for Maria each day and keep updated on specific prayer requests at Pray for Maria. There will also be a blog that you can follow at the facebook site or you can signup for email updates at Email Updates. This is a picture of one of the support vehicles that a local supporter provided the super cool skin for the team.


Jenny Update: The latest treatment this week was not without it's difficulties. The port that is used to draw blood and to deliver the chemo was blocked, so there was a three hour delay in getting the infusion completed on Thursday. There was also some nausea on Friday, which we had hoped to avoid. Jenny is feeling better today and is looking forward to our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Savannah next week.

Prior to heading to our little get away, Jenny will go in for an MRI on Monday the 17th to get up-to-date images. We will be coming back for an appointment on the 20th to view the MRI results and have the next chemo treatment.

Please continue to pray for continued strength, healing, and encouragement for Jenny and for Maria's safety, protection, and endurance. Thanks for being in this with us!
