Finally losin’ it

I’m doing the American Cancer Society’s Climb to Conquer Cancer this August, and, for the first time this year, am trying to raise some cash for this great cause. In the past, the Daily Sun has had a team but unless no one told me, we haven’t done any fund-raising.

It’s more than just a great workout — seven miles up Snowbowl Road, just north of Flagstaff, Arizona. It’s also a chance for me to honor my dad, who was killed by lymphoma in 2003. I call that summer the summer from hell, because my mom went into the hospital (quadruple bypass) and then, while she was in there, Dad collapsed in the yard and was rushed to the hospital (admitted with a fever of 105 and an unknown infection). He was gone a week later, and my mom died a couple of weeks after that. I spent a lot of time on an airplane that summer!
If you want to contribute to the cause (and didn’t already give at the office!), check out my Climb to Conquer Cancer site.

Thanks in advance for your support.
