Good morning!
Sorry, it's me again. Olivia will be writing again soon, but she has been feeling a bit nauseous that last two days. She finished getting the first chemo of the 2nd cycle, and they say this drug is highest on the scale of causing nausea. So overall, she's doing quite well. We will be going home later this afternoon to start the two-week break.
In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about our friend Jack Murphy, who is riding in the Pan Mass Challenge. The PMC is a 190+ mile bike ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown to raise money for cancer research. Jack has ridden in this 5 times and was thinking of taking a break from it this year. When he heard about Olivia's diagnosis in June, he decided to go ahead with it. Since then he's been training in over 100 degree heat, thunderstorms, and has even gotten lost!
The PMC is this weekend and we will be cheering Jack on. If you see someone riding with "Olivia" on the back of his shirt, it's Jack!
Also if you are interested in helping him reach his fundraising goal, go to this link:

Thanks and enjoy the rest of the week!
Post note: Just as I was about to press "publish," there was a knock on our door. Wally the Red Sox mascot came to visit, along with a few MLB umpires. Will post a picture when we get one!
the Yankees didn't want to send Derek???? sorry about the nausea Olivia, that stinks, huh? but glad to hear you get to go home and get some lovin' there... xo K
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and 'plugging' the PMC! I will take some pictures and recap the ride so that Olivia can have a good laugh seeing me crawl to the finish line.
