I ran 6 miles today,
And I thought about Jacob who received his stem cells today.
His Dad said:
The bone marrow cells arrived in an infusion bag and were a bright, vibrant, Christmas red….Now we’re into the magical 30 days when the cells begin to grow – he still has the mouth sores and the hair loss and the very close monitoring in front of him. Please pray that God will protect his little body completely and bring this good work of healing to completion. Please pray that God’s grace would fall upon JT powerfully during this long, long recovery time. Jodi prayed that these donor cells would feel right at home in Jacob’s body – I like that.
Here’s the route.
The 111th edition of the Boston Marathon will be very special. This year Mark Porter will run the marathon again teamed up with Andy.

Mark is a cancer survivor and last year he ran his first marathon. He liked it so much that he’s doing it again. Back in April after finishing the race he told me that it was the best experience he’s ever had…. He invited me to run the Boston Marathon in 2007.
My brother Victor will run the marathon.

Victor is running because “Children’s Hospital Boston saved my nephews life”.
And I will run for the doctors, nurses and researchers that saved Andy’s life on multiple occasions. I will run for Six West, the stem cell transplant unit at Children’s Hospital Boston where Andy had the stem cell transplant two years ago. And I will run to thank the runners who ran in previous years for Andy.
Please help us give back to Children’s Hospital Boston.
