"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well."

- Teddy Roosevelt

Robert, what a great quote! I work with Melissa and she sent me a link to your blog. After browsing through, to me this quote reflects you, your journey, and my admiration for you. Your story is an inspiration to us all!

2010 marks my twentieth year in remission from AML. To celebrate, I will be training for and running two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland on October 25th.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (or through the site archives).

But now I will also be writing about my training and fundraising goals, progress, as well as other thoughts, feelings, and experiences along the way for this milestone anniversary.
