We wish to Thank all of You.
Tomorrow Christine and I will be inducted into the Strike Out Cancer Hall of Fame. http://www.strikeoutcancer.com/index.jsp The ceremonies will be held before the San Diego Padres / San Francisco Giants game at about 12:30 PM.
The Strike Out Cancer Hall of Fame honors people who embody the spirit of the program by providing unparalleled support, education and hope to people affected by cancer. Ten people who continually work to inspire and motivate others in the cancer community will be inducted at special recognition ceremonies, with the chance to be recognized on-field at Major League Ballparks.
What makes this recognition more important to us is that we were nominated by several members of the HER2 Support Group for this honor. We are both thankful and humbled by this. To have the recognition of your peers is a great honor.
Hopefully we will be able to post some pictures of the ceremony.
Warmest regards and Hugs to all,
Christine and Joe

well deserved...
You deserve not only this recognition, but much, much more. Thanks for all you do.
By the way, my onc said he stopped by the HER2-Support booth at Atlanta. Did you happen to catch Dr. Kochenderfer from Wake Forrest?
