Aubrey--

Congrats on your Fathers' Day Run! Not only did you raise money for a very

good cause, you are showing the rest of us what YOU are able to do after

transplant and giving us good things to look forward to.

Father's Day Run

> This morning we completed our Father's Day Run in good fashion. It was

> an official race on the local track scene. But Caroline and I started

> out at the back of the pack from the start. It meant that after the

> wonderful warm up they provided, we got to walk towards the Start/Finish

> Line for a minute or two as the racers led us onto the course. The race

> ran along the canal through a very nice part of Ottawa, Canada's Capital

> City. Knowing how excited we would be we had told each other to go slow.

> Caroline runs a lot so she stayed with a slow pace for me. We turned

> around at the half way point in about 18 minutes and finished the race

> with a bit of a kick in just over 30 minutes.

> It was great to see other friends running the race, including one of

> Caroline's girlfriends, her brother and her Dad who is 74 and a Prostate

> Cancer survivor!

> Between us we raised over $300 for Prostate Cancer Research. It was fun

> and satisfying in many way to run a race again. Ten years ago I was

> touring this town in a wheelchair because my arthritis was so bad. Ten

> years before that I ran the National Capital Marathon here. Life sure

> has some strange twists and turns up it's sleeve.

> Hope all of you had as good Father's Day as we did.
