John and Karen in Chapel Hill

John and Karen recently went to the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center in Durham, N.C. I won't go into detail about all that the center plans for John, (I'll let John do that) but I can relate that it is a "place of hope", and we are excited about the clinical trial in which John will be participating.
The reason for this post, however, is to let you know that 1) conveniently and fatefully, Nathan and Danielle live in Chapel Hill, right next to Durham and 2) John and Karen stayed with Nathan and Danielle while John was evaluated by the Tisch Center. Here are couple pictures that they took while visiting there.

Just Checking In

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. I will rectify that (with pics of Wyoming). My pix can't compare with Greg's though. More soon! Off to Durham and Duke Monday!

Wowing over Wonderful Wyoming

Here we are on the Jenny Lake trail to Inspiration Point and beyond!

Hi all,

What a wonderful trip to Wyoming we had! I'll be trying to break down all of our wilderness adventures into their many chapters and post them here on John's blog in the coming days and weeks.


To John: Thanks for inviting all of us on this fantastic trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. This precious bastion of American wilderness is truly inspiring and worth preserving and protecting forever.

And, to all who joined us on this trip: Thank you for being there. It was truly awesome to share this beautiful place and time with all of you.

There will be many more photos posted here. You won't believe how many we all took. I'll upload the Swick's to an online photo site later today. If you don't have authorship privileges and have some photos from your collection that you'd like to have posted here, please send them to me. I'll even give you credit for taking the picture! :)

This week John enters his third round of pulse chemotherapy. Please keep countless thoughts and prayers pouring out for him. We are all grateful for your support and encouragement during this time.


Greg
