11/14 MMRF Walk/Race and 11/15 Monday

Thought I would catch up from yesterday and today. The MMRF race/walk was held yesterday (Sunday) in Virginia. What an awesome turnout!! We had over 50 participants as part of our HOOD STRONG team!!! It was so wonderful to see so many from our family and friends come to this spectacular event. Don and I were so proud to be part of this and the love shown by those who came to support him and MMRF was just so heart warming. We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts! We love you all! :):):):):). Don did take a few race steps with our daughter Kristi at the start – he said he was holding her up so he told her to get on with it!! And she did – she did a wonderful job as well as everyone on our team. Don will no doubt be one of the runners NEXT year – we know he will!!


Today was a good day – Don is slowly getting his strength back. He went through so much these past 6+ weeks and I think even he is surprised at how long it will and is taking him to get back to feeling normal. I told him to think about where he was a few weeks ago and see where he is now and from my point of view he’s come a long way and I see him only getting better and stronger in the weeks and months ahead!! He’s just being a bit impatient but I understand! We took a good walk down the road today – each day he goes a bit further and further. We have appointment on Thursday to get blood work done and to meet with an associate of Dr. Borrello and to get his pheresis catheter taken out. I know he’s looking forward to that.

Keep the prayers coming – we need and appreciate them all!


Until next time ……

Love you all!


Don & Muffin
