Hello again everyone, Well I got some pretty good news a few nights ago, my brother Nate, is a "perfect 10 out of 10" donor match for my upcoming bone marrow transplant! This is great news because now I know I have a donor and also it gives me peace of mind to know where my blood is coming from. After Nate gets done with some races in Aspen he will have to go to Denver to have his marrow harvested. I should then start my stay in the hospital and have my transplant sometime in the first or second week of March. I will be there for three to four weeks and then another two months in the Denver Metro area. I am really looking forward to having this be my final step in this long process and can't wait to get it started. The only thing is that they say you can take on the traits of your donor sometimes, so it looks like Nate and I will become even more like twins! I just hope that I can still drive better than him hahaha! I will keep you all updated as more info comes and stay tuned for info on our next fundraisers. We will also be getting hoodies and beanies to sell along with the shirts and hats we have had. Thanks everyone Nick
