Welcome New (Old) Friends

Jemma asked Amherst College, my alma mater, to send a message to my esteemed Class of '94 letting them know about Team Lynn. She/we've received lots of responses, and have forwarded on this blog address. So, I'd like to take a minute and welcome new visitors.

When Jemma mentioned the message from Amherst, I didn't really track it. (And, I secretly suspected that no-one would really remember me.) Since the note has gone out, I have been overwhelmed with the good wishes and generosity of old friends and classmates. It is trite, I know, but gifts of fondness have truly been the best boost to my recovery. I've said it many times in this forum, but it bears repeating. Every email, phone call, card, visit, letter, or package, gets me through another day of fighting cancer, because it gives me a reason to fight. I am loved, and needed, and missed, and therefore, I will get better. So please don't hesitate, and don't worry about saying/doing/writing the right thing.

Thanks to all the Lord and Lady Jeffs who've responded. Welcome to the blog.

Team Lynn T-Shirts

Team Lynn has gained in popularity. It is awe inspiring, yet not surprising, to see the outpouring of support for Lynn in relationship to this charity. Team Lynn is investigating T-Shirts for support of the walk, but basically because it's cool to have one. There is a voting section to the left which allows you to choose a number of shirts you'd be interested in. We are closing the poll on 2/12, so please vote sooner rather than later. If we get a large enough number we'll go ahead--details will be posted here.

Thanks again to everyone for showing Lynn how much she means to the world. We all knew it, but it's high time she did too!
