Hello, all.  As many of you know, Chris was diagnosed with Essential Thrombocytosis, a type of blood disorder & cancer. In October, Chris thought he had a heart attack, however his symptoms were actually a result of his high platelet count. In November, Chris' platelet count was over 900,000!! Chris now takes two chemo pills daily, to help keep his platelet count below 500,000.  Chris continues to undergo testing, as he may also have Polycythemia Vera.  All of this is new & we are on a steep learning curve, with more appointments & testing to come.  We appreciate all of your prayers & hope you will support us in this endeavor to raise money for cancer victims & new research.  Essential Thrombocytosis is a rare disease & even more rare in people under the age of 65.  We would love your support, so new information can be attained, to help cancer patients like Chris, whether you choose to run or simply donate!!  Thank you & we love you all... Chris, Laura, Quinn & Nole
