I'm so impressed by the strength of your body and mind. <br /><br />Thank you for your incredible toughness and perseverance. Thanks for making a difference and helping all of the people who are affected by blood cancers. As a family that was affected by leukemia, we greatly appreciate your efforts. I have been following your progress each day. You are an inspiration!<br /><br />Keep going strong - You're almost at the finish line!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661479731834506417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460472729130278935.post-71573422634038142212010-01-14T09:56:41.299-08:002010-01-14T09:56:41.299-08:00Wow!

You are very very close.<br /><br />As a side note, would have loved to hear what the result of peeing on the achilles would have done. Way to think outside the box, Colin! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079666072246311576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460472729130278935.post-12784970381612861842010-01-14T08:59:50.123-08:002010-01-14T08:59:50.123-08:00Wow, Mike!

I am amazed each day at your strength and committment to the cause, to the bigger picture. You know it's not all about you and that is the BEST part! You know you are out ther fighting for those who can't. It's amazing and your strength is amazing. Each day when I check in on you or send you a silly message I am reminded each day is for someone else no matter how tough my day was. There is someone else battling something greater. Keep your chin up, your smile on and just keep focused. With the crew you have, there is no doubt you will be successful on completing your trek! You are someone I'd love to be like and you are a model of greatness and true passion for the cause.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218221081052233505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460472729130278935.post-8543521975620047682010-01-14T04:11:09.782-08:002010-01-14T04:11:09.782-08:00Mike,

After a month I can run 30 to 40 minutes straight and am loving it. What an inspiration you are to me, and everyone who hears the story of what you are doing! Thank you for your huge heart of commitment to your vision and mission.<br /><br />I want you to know that when I work out every day I am thinking about what you are doing, in awe of you and your team. I pray for you every day, and especially when I am running. I live on the other side of the world from you, but your courage and fighting spirit burns just as bright from this distance as it does in the eyes of all the people who are privileged to see you every day, and especially those you visit along the way.<br /><br />I have heard that you often say, "Let the finish line come to you." I remember that advice every time I run. You are almost there, Mike! Let it come to you, "nice and easy." Enjoy the moments, for you have done a magnificent thing to get where you are, and NOTHING is going to stop you from a fantastic finish!<br /><br />an ardent admirer and fan from afar,<br /><br />John<br />JapanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460472729130278935.post-59580374310066453762010-01-13T23:45:16.581-08:002010-01-13T23:45:16.581-08:00Hi Mike! Great blog today ... what an inspiration ...Hi Mike! Great blog today ... what an inspiration you are! Sometimes when I'm having a tough run (nothing compared to what you're doing, of course), I remind myself that I can quit any time I want. After all, this is a hobby, something I do for the fun of it. But every time that thought even crosses my mind, another one jumps right in: Sure, we can quit but the people we're running for can't. They can't just quit chemo, quit radiation, quit cancer. So I suppose you could quit if you wanted to, but I know you won't. Because it's not a hobby, and it's not just for fun. You run because you care with all your heart. Your heart got you through today and it will get you to the finish line. Sending great big hugs, from my heart to yours!
