Ah, cancer is such a sucky thing but when it affects the brain, its just the worse. I'm sorry Lise, I feel like we're kindred spirits. I ran the NY marathon with Fred's Team one year. Fred Lebow (the founder of the NYRRC) had the same cancer as my mom, and he passed away a number of years ago. My mom had just been diagnosed and had had her first surgery, and so I joined Fred's team and ran in honor of my mom that year. Now during every race, I know she's there with me. Your dad left you an amazing legacy and I know you are making him proud every day.
