MMRF 5K-Run

 Hello to all, I hope this post finds you well. The 5K race for Myeloma was a success and our team closed out our donations this week. Thank you to all our friends and followers, we were able to exceed our goal of raising $1,000 for Multiple Myeloma research; the final contribution number was $1,120! Thank you to everyone who contributed. The MMRF is a great organization and a strong advocate and supporter for Multiple Myeloma research. Since our 5K Race on September 15th, they have announced a new drug approved for Multiple Myeloma patients. The research for this new drug was driven by the continued support from MMRF.

 
As for me, I’m still recovering from Radical prostatectomy surgery. I’m feeling better every week; the incontinence is a tough recovery not to mention impotency.  We are working on our new home in Vermont, no shortage of projects in a 200-year-old house! Keeps us busy and keeps my mind of recovery.

Tomorrow I’m starting a part time job as a cook in the kitchen of a country breakfast restaurant. The place is called Sugar & Spice and is located in a 3-story sugar shack, every spring they brew up maple sugar & syrup up through the center of the restaurant; it’s one of the oldest surviving Sugar shacks in New England.

That’s all for now, we are wishing a “HAPPY THANKSGIVING” to everyone and your families.
