    I enjoy reading the pages of the people who ride the livestrong challenge. Some are very personalized and it is very touching and often funny to read them. My favorite from last year was a guy that had a very large team and even had founded a non-profit. He too was a testicular cancer survivor and his page had a picture of him and Lance at the dinner the night before the ride. The title was "It's all fun and games until someone loses a nut". Cracked me up!!
    You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!

    I have a friend who is a survivor, he'll say things like "I'd give my left nut....oh wait, I already did!"

    Way back when, I worked in a hospital Radiololgy dept. We had a patient that was a repeat customer for CTs to monitor treatment of his testicular cancer. He'd had surgeries, chemo, etc., anyway, he was having yet another CT one afternoon I was working, to see if the cancer had spread, or if they had caught it. If it didn't spread, he was confident he'd live, and he was going to propose to his lady friend, if it had metatisized, he said he wouldn't put her through that. Lady friend had been with him all along, like she was going to ditch him? Anyway, the Radiologist was a very happy man to give him the results, and patient proposed then and there in the waiting room.

    She said Yes.

    Great story!
    "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
