A friend of mine who has cancer got a great report on his progress Tuesday up at Duke University. So today I ventured onto the Duke Web site and found this story. (Which is unrelated to my friend except by Duke.)
If you see Drew Bratton, wish him well with a pat on the back. (Unless he's passing by at a high rate of speed.) He's overcome various heart problems with the help of his Duke cardiologist and on St. Patrick's Day he started pedaling across the country from San Diego. He's headed east with five friends. Quite inspiring.
On the cycling note: "Wheels to Heal" is April 15 here in Columbus. A benefit for the John B. Amos Cancer Center, it starts at the Columbus Civic Center with check-in at 7 a.m. and breakfast following. Cyclists can choose among four lengths: 20 miles, 40, 62 and 100. All riders head toward Fort Benning, at staggered starting times. Registration is $55 through April 13 and $60 the day of. ($45 for military.) Should be a lot of fun.
