I had an interesting coincidence the other day. It turns out that I have a closer connection to the man that I wrote about in my fundraising letter than I realized. David Roberts, a man who has undergone treatment for Leukemia, is married to a woman who used to work at my company. It turns out that many people in my office know of David personally, and in fact, one person plays on a soccer team with him. More proof that we live in a very small world!

The other day when I was riding around Marin County as part of team-in-training, a man who has been fighting Leukemia for years mentioned a little girl that he uses for inspiration when he is riding up the unbearable hills. The girl is Alex, and she is five years old. Recently she went through her sixth relapse into Leukemia.

I sent my Leukemia and Lymphoma Society letters out to the people of my work today, and someone cut a $35 check on the spot! How cool!

For all you West Coasters out there, check out Westlog. This is a blog put out by a family friend, Suneel, who went to UCLA journalism school with my aunt. Quite interesting stuff...

One man with Leukemia started an interesting support network for people with Leukemia. Check out his story here.
