this is an inspiring trailer for a documentary about a team of cyclists (team will) that rode across the country last year to raise funds to combat childhood cancers. one of our e-buddies, eli is mentioned in this video:
eli's mom, maria, has also been active with raising awareness and funds through team in training, all while eli is still in maintenance therapy. she especially amazes and inspires me because she is able to participate in such an important cause, despite the fact that their family is still dealing with all the issues that come hand in hand with having a child who is still on chemotherapy. one day, i will definitely join team in training, because time and time again thanks to our friends, i have seen what an amazing program it is. so is curesearch, the organization that is mentioned at the start of the video, and appears on the jerseys of the cyclists.
by the way, ry returned to preschool today after a month and a half hiatus (cause of his prolonged infections and low counts). he had a great day! he lined up with the "blue group" all on his own, and continued playing with his new friend, isabella. he is becoming more socially connected and involved. he also didn't cling to daddy as much as he has in the past. this is exciting! lining up may sound trivial, but it is a huge step for ryan. this is the first time he has ever done that. it shows signs of cooperation and that perhaps he is more ready to actively participate at school and in social settings. yaaay for ryan!!!!!! you are awesome!
