You are probably pretty proud of yourself; that you have withstood several rounds of chemo and nine months later you are still hanging on. Well guess what, I am still here too! In fact, I am stronger than I was 9 months ago. You may have felt me shaking you up a bit this morning. That's because I ran 2 miles. That's right, I walked 2 miles and ran 2 miles with my son.
You may want to take a look around, Cancer. What do you see? I'll tell you what you see. You see health. You see strength. You see heart, determination, a will to live, unending drive, and unwavering faith. Beyond that, what you can't see, is an army of my supporters just waiting for you to fall. WE have YOU surrounded, and WE are closing in. It is time to come out with your hands up. It is time to wave your white flag. Otherwise we are coming in with guns blazing. This is your final warning.
You may have survived the last nine months, but you are much smaller. I have not only survived, but I am stronger. We have you surrounded, and we will continue to close in like a boa constrictor until you give up or die. Know this Cancer, when you take your last breath, YOU will hear US roar.

Your determination is so inspiring Matt. Many folks are praying for you and all of your family and friends, and I know with your determination that you will beat this!
Hang in there and good luck this week!
I am sure the youngest elder ever at GIPC knows how to lead the way! All those who will benefit from your experience will thank you in their hearts.
FLH!

MSK is an amazing place, Matt. Not only are you in great hands but also they are blessed to have such a fighting Wolverine in house. Stay strong, visit Jack Rabbit Sports on 14th between 5th and 6th for running gear, and Go Blue! I'm living in NYC - Brooklyn - so if you are fixing for any good eats - NY specific or A2 clones - holler!
