Hi Everyone, I hope 2015 is off to an ok start. For me and my family, the last few months have been incredibly difficult – given many new ‘firsts’ we did not anticipate. The birthdays and holidays were all very tough. I know we all think about my mom constantly as she always had such a strong presence, especially as… Read more →

Hi Everyone, We are only 4 days away from PanCan’s annual PurpleStride 5k Walk/Race – taking place this Saturday, Nov 8th in both Dallas and San Jose. We have teams signed up at both events, and we look forward to everyone joining us come Saturday. Online registration for both events ends tonight! Please continue to share with family & friends… Read more →

We are just two weeks away from PanCan’s Purplestride 5K’s in Dallas and Silicon Valley – both taking place on Nov. 8th. And only three weeks away from PanCan’s PurpleStride in Orange County – Nov. 15th Here’s the breakdown: We have three Team Michele’s registered at upcoming races across the country – which is amazing. If you live in any one of… Read more →

Team Michele cracked the top 10 fundraising teams, currently in 4th place for the upcoming Pancreatic Cancer 5K this Nov. 8th in Dallas! We are so grateful and appreciative of your support – with over $9,500 raised and 39 team members registered thus far.

While I think many of us still remain in a constant state of disbelief & sadness, we have an upcoming opportunity to honor Michele while supporting an amazing organization, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCan). PanCan will be hosting their annual Purple Stride 5K Walk / Run in Dallas on November 8th at Klyde Warren Park. There are lots of… Read more →

Thank you to all who joined us last week for Michele’s service. As shiva (the Jewish custom of mourning for the week following a funeral) comes to a close, my family has reflected on the past week and our hearts have been warmed by the tremendous outpouring of love & support. While our hearts have been warmed, they undoubtedly continue… Read more →

My heart breaks while typing each and every letter of this blog post. Much as happened since our last blog post and we apologize for not sending out an update earlier. After our latest trip to Houston a few weeks ago, Michele had her third chemotherapy treatment, a small procedure to remove some fluid in her belly, another oncology appointment,… Read more →

You can always tell a true Texan by whether or not they include an apostrophe in the word — yall. (Yes it’s a word) So, howdy yall! Most of Team Michele just touched down in Houston (Don’t worry, we drove. We opted not to take the space shuttle) – “Houston, come in Houston, the eagle has landed.” And a few more… Read more →

On Tuesday Michele had her second chemotherapy treatment at UT Southwestern oncology center here in Dallas. Scott and I accompanied her, again prepped with plenty of entertainment and ginger ale. Michele took the treatment like a champ, sleeping for most of the time, and we were in and out of the treatment center faster than during the first round! We learned… Read more →

Dear Friends & Family: I wanted to thank you so very much for all the support, well wishes, texts, e-mails, calls & visits over the last month. As I continue to recover from my first chemotherapy treatment, I am building strength day-by-day and have found much strength in numbers from my amazing support team. Thank you so much for all… Read more →
