Me and my boys
« on: October 25, 2014, 10:17:33 PM »
Quick paddle in 15 knots today...lots of mini downwinders.

Max is 9 on the kayak and Ben is 11 on the naish Kekei.

6 months ago Ben was diagnosed with luekemia so this fills my heart with pride. Watch out for us in a few years at the m2o

First line: Yeah, what a hoot
Second: Aw yeah
Third: Oh, f*#k (tears well up)
Revisit: This is so awesome.

You have obviously been through hell and are coming out the other end. Take care of yourself.

That is an awesome share. Here is a pic of our near 11 year old at the start of his first downwind last year. Go Ben Go!

Awesome sauce! (And holy moly, that is the smallest kayak I've ever seen.)

Cheers creek, the prayers are appreciated. He's a tough little bastard, and very much a physical healthy kinda kid. Was an athlete prior to treatment. and I'm sure will get back there.

2 years of treatment to go!!!!

The media keep reporting that cancer treatment outcomes are much better for patients who were fit before diagnosis and who are active during treatment.

My wife worked out as hard as she could during chemo and radiation. None of it was fun but she set records for physical recovery.

Yeah blackeye like creek said, a strong body and mind will go along way, plus some luck.  Hope your wife is well and remains that way.  I know the feeling of wellbeing i get from being out on the water, and i am hoping it is helping him.
