I just have time for a quick update so I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has been supporting us on the virtual run! Here is the leaderboard thus far:

We are doing great and I’m so thrilled with the number of donations that we have received as well as the incredible amount of miles our teammates have put in over the past week and a half. We have 11 days left and I want to put 110% into getting as many miles and as much money donated as possible to support the awesome effort of the runners who are pounding the pavement running across America for the Ulman Fund and young adult cancer patients. Please spread the word about this great cause to your friends and family. To make a donation, follow the link below and mention Team Supergirl:

In other news, my counts are doing great and my skin issues seem to be improving. I’m still having a terrible time with my calf muscles making running almost impossible. But I did pick up a new pair of running shoes, as well as a few tips on how to deal with the tight muscles. The common theme that keeps coming up is that I may be having dehydration/electrolyte issues. This would make a lot of sense given the stomach issues I have been having for a couple of weeks now and the fact that I just don’t drink that much during the day. I’m trying to pay a lot more attention to all of this and hope to see some improvements soon.

My hair is moving along and seems to be a little more peppered than just white now. I’ll take whatever I get!

Oh, and I have loved sharing this very short video on Facebook about how a T-cell attacks a cancer cell. If you haven’t seen it, here it is:

T-Cell Attack

It’s just really interesting to see and it gives me a whole new concept when I am visualizing my cells doing good work.

Two more days and it will be 4 months since my transplant! Every day counts. I wouldn’t say I feel normal but I am getting there. I read something about celebrating every milestone in the recovery, no matter how big or how small, to help deal with this challenging time period. So April 8th I will celebrate that 4-month anniversary with a big Easter gathering on the same day my grandmother turns 94 years old. She has always given me much to aspire to and making it to 94 is just another thing.

Keep running!
