Update from the Swicks

As you probably know, our daughter-in-law Danielle and her family are doing a 5K later this month for the Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University. They have dedicated their efforts to John and, in fact, have named their team "John's Team". What a great family you are! Thanks to all of you from all of us in John's family.

Now, for the update:

Nathan has now joined "John's Team" and is training with Danielle for the run.

We all know how much Nathan and Danielle love Duke University, right? I think Danielle likes Duke less than KU! I just have to emphasize that both of them are doing a charity run for Duke Medical Center. The irony is certainly not lost on this crowd! :)

I suspect that their disdain for Duke fades a bit as they move away from Coach K's domain. It was not that long ago that Duke wrote Nathan's paycheck.

From a distance, Duke University looks awesome to me.

When a cure for brain tumors occurs, it certainly will not surprise me if it comes out of Tisch Brain Tumor Center. So, run, Danielle and Nathan, run!

Please keep John and Karen in your thoughts and prayers in John's third week of radiation/chemotherapy treatment.
