I’ve lost someone today. Not someone I’ve gotten to know well, but someone who inspired me greatly. Melanie Fastrup was my Honored Teammate through Team in Training. She’s one I was racing for. Today, she lost her battle with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia (a form on non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) which has no cure. Please pray for her husband, Dan, my teammate, and her daughters.

I’m sorry. Prayers for Dan and his daughters. How devastating.

I left you a comment a while back and vice versa. I haven’t been on this blog-thing in months. Anyway, I happened to read this and just want you to know I will pray for her family. What a great thing you’re doing.

Thank you, Natalie. Our team leaves tomorrow for the race and she’ll be on our minds the entire time, giving us a reminder to why we’re doing this.
