To everyone that offered support and wishes for my half marathon, and especially support for my personal honoree, Collin.
Collin passed away this morning. I don't know what else to say, the little guy will always have a special place in my heart.

Ah, Snap. I'm sorry.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

I'm crying for him with you and those who loved him. I'm so sorry.
It's why we do events with TNT, in hopes of finding a cure so nobody will have to lose their Collin.
I'm so very sorry.

I'm so sorry. Most of us do numerous charity events, but it's rare to have such an angelic face associated with the ride/race. My condolences to all who knew him.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Thanks again

Snap, Girchy and I just got back from 10 days in Europe. I logged onto the Lounge this morning and learned of Collin's death. I'm speechless and heartbroken. After 18 months of such a gallant fight, I had convinced myself that he had gotten through the worst of it. We left on the 4th knowing that some new issues had cropped up, but I was not prepared for or expecting this. I'm so, so sorry. Collin touched so many lives. I'm sure Phil and Emily are not alone in their terrible sadness.
Thank you for all that you've done in Collin's name.Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
