Diagnosis Announcement

July 27, 2020

Friends and family, near and far, I need your support.  In yet another bizarre twist to 2020, I’ve recently been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Myxoid Liposarcoma.  After spending the last decade working in the cancer non-profit space, this has come as quite a shock.  However, the biggest thing I’ve learned from my time at LIVESTRONG and Pelotonia is that community is a critical ingredient in beating this cruel disease.  So, I’m asking for your good energy, quiet prayers, positive vibes, and best wishes as I begin chemotherapy next week.  I’m being treated by an amazing team of doctors and nurses at The James, and they have confidence that I will make a full recovery.  Doug and I will keep you posted on how things are going.  Thanks in advance for showing us your kindness and support.  Wishing all of you the very best during these strange and difficult times.
