Softball tournament was wet. But it was a blast. Just came back from the carb-loading at the Dana-Farber Pasta Party where I met with Stanley and his family again, and gave him his medal and a few other little surprises. Finally met Tony Brake after months of online chatting and motivation!

We raised $1351 at the tournament yesterday, and an EXTREMELY GENEROUS Joe and Chris Aloe donated $1,000 to the cause. I am absolutely taken aback by their generosity… it is almost inhuman…

The change drive raised over $1100. The AHS students are competitive and incredibly generous. I’m still amazed at how well that went.

As Jack Fultz says, “The Hay’s In the Barn.” Not much we can do to better prepare than to stay calm, try to get some sleep, go out and run our race tomorrow. I’m SO excited. The Pasta Party had me in tears at a few points. It’s so unfair that these kids have to face cancer. It’s unfair that ANYONE has to face cancer. With luck. we’ll continue fighting it and wipe it out completely. If you haven’t donated yet, please do consider doing so, as it’s really just something else… The impact the donations have on cancer research at DFCI is really inexplicable, and downright amazing…

Tomorrow’s the big run. It’ll be my first DFMC run. I can already tell that it won’t be my last. It will be my third Boston Marathon. I know it won’t be my last.

Thanks in advance to everyone who has supported me in this journey… it’s been an amazing one that isn’t over just yet.

If you’d like to track me tomorrow, please text “RUNNER” to 31901, and when they text you back, reply with a text of my bib number: 22556.

We’ll have a race report as soon as possible, but probably not tomorrow night. Tomorrow night is for partying. And by partying, I mean sleeping.

Can’t wait. Tomorrow’s gonna rock.
