30 Days To Go!

30 days until Dopey 2020 for Autism Speaks

Race weekend is fast approaching! My last long-long run is this weekend. I plan to run 23 miles!

Recently I ran by Medical City Hospital, where DS3 was diagnosed with and defeated cancer. It is where my running journey truly began. I am strangely drawn to this location. It is like a siren call to me (pun intended). Sometimes I go to the cafeteria for breakfast before work. I think it is because my life changed there, where I became a different person. Maybe I’m subconsciously hoping to find some piece of the “old me” there. Yeah, weird, I know. Anyways, it is also adjacent to my favorite running trail so there’s that too.

Now, to tie this back to Disney World a little more… Last Saturday the Medical City oncology group held a holiday party and we were invited. The boys got to meet Santa and guess what he had for them? Christmas Mickeys! It brought tears to our eyes – so much symbolism for us. Also shown below is one of the oncologists that saved DS3’s life. I love that man!

Last, but not least… Would you like to win a high-quality, custom-built lightsaber or droid from Star Wars land at Disney World? Or maybe you’d like to sponsor a mile of my Dopey Challenge (15 slots left)? Learn more on my Autism Speaks fundraising page at www.runjordanrun.com/autism
