Everything, and I mean everything was in place and ready for Sunday night's special event at the Keys stadium. Several hundred cancer survivors were pre-registered and they were expecting a big crowd. The newspaper did their job, radio did theirs, American Cancer Society was ready to go!!
It rained. Big time and would not stop. Disappointing, but as Dave the GM put it, "it gives them more time to promote it to an even bigger event".
The Breast Cancer Awareness night in honor of Chris will now be held on FRIDAY AUG. 15th at 7:00 pm. Friday's are traditionally big nights. THis one will be huge as Fireworks are already on the schedule.
Thanks to everyone who came out last night. I'm hoping to see more on the 15th...

From the Frederick Paper
Originally this blog was used to keep people informed about the daily happenings in the life of my beautiful wife Christine while she courageously battled stage IV breast cancer since Sept. 2004. After 3 years of fierce battle Chris lost her life to this dreaded disease at 6:30 AM on Tuesday, September 11, 2007. Our family will continue to carry on her spirit, drive, and toughness as we continue our lives without her. WE MISS YOU SWEETHEART! - Love, Charlie

Climb for Hope
Dr. Emens is Chris's Oncologist and she and some very good friends are in the process of raising funds to help fund the research program that she is working on at John's Hopkins Hospital. Specifically, there is a clinical trial that is currently being done that she is heading up. This trial is the same trial that Chris is trying to get into. The trial is leading edge and so is the climb for hope teams! Click here to check out their blog.

Bagpipe Song
Many have asked about the song that the bagpipe player was playing at the cemetery for Chris's funeral. After some digging we've determined that the name of the song is Suo Gan and is a traditional Welsh lullaby. Here is a link to the song.
