The Gunny's Fight Part II (12Oct10)

Hey Gang,

As promised I'm writing to provide you a link to the website for my latest fund raising event. It can be found at the following URL:
http://fundraising.livestrong.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=325373&lis=0&kntae325373=DE0FAAE120434FE1890EC4DFB92013BA

On that site you can make a donation and also go to "The Gunny's Team" page. As soon as I get the shirts screen printed I will provide pics on this site and will take orders..all monies received will go towards the foundation I'm supporting.

Because I can't drive for another 5 1/2 months due to the seizure...I had to work from home for the first half of the morning and then spent the rest of the afternoon commuting the VA/DC transit systems to get to the VA Med Ctr. The appointments are routine in nature and only meant to confirm the claims I'm submitting compensation from the VA are in fact valid and since I'm going through a MedBoard process they are not only investigating the tumor but all aches and pains I've submitted as pre-existing conditions. Today's appointment was with podiatry and as it would turn out my feet are all jacked up..hammer toes, high arches..(go figure), heel spurs, plantar fasciitis...but I refuse to quit running.

I'm going to digress for a moment..ironically I was diagnosed with this last finding the same weekend after I returned from the OAG....it was good to see so many people within the community; however, I had this same experience the weekend after the spring ESAG which occurred in April and two days later I was diagnosed with the brain tumor. Not sure what the message is here but I wouldn't change one thing and glad I've had the opportunity to see many peers/colleagues and friends..

Once again please pass the word on the blog and the link to the foundation website..

23K in three weeks was impressive in April/May let's do it again and reach the 30K goal and give me the motivation to finish this 26.2 strong..

Always Faithful...The Gunny
