Please take the time to send cards and well wishes to our ailing Rotarian Claude. He is a senior and long time member of the club.
Trust me, I know what it is like to be homebound .
PP Mac… I, Michele spoke to him yesterday via cell phone…he gave me permission to make his plight public. These are his words:

“My cancer is on the move again, with new tumors and progression in the old. Two years of stable disease are over. It’s time for a battle and a furious defense of my blessed life. Thanks for your prayers and support. They are critical aspects of my arsenal. I will never, never, never quit. There is a new sense of urgency to my resolve to run this race in little more than 6 months from now. My sojourn of stable disease is over as tests this week revealed new tumors in my remaining kidney and progression of tumors in my pancreas and lungs. Mark my words I WILL cross that finish line in Central Park on November 4th. Please help me fund research that could extend and/or save the lives of the 40,000 folks who will be diagnosed with kidney cancer this year. Every single contribution will help. For my part, I will "Press On Regardless”.
