   Wow it does not seem to be a tough question but it is, so many things to be thankful for. I want to thank the Live Strong Foundation, my wife passed away at the young age of 42 from breast cancer. Just after I wrote Lance a note, thanking him for his work and sharing my story, the very next day someone from Live strong called and asked what they could do to help. I told them I was doing fine; ya I lied, widowed father of three kids that just watched his wife, his best friend fight a reoccurrence of breast cancer for six years and unfortunately lost her battle. The very next day a social worker called and we spoke for some time. I told her my plan for the healing of our wounds and what I had started with my kids to help them accept. I am proud to say that it has been eight years and for the last two we have learned to celebrate my wife’s life and not morn her death. Thank you Live Strong for caring!

   I’m thankful for my Testicular Cancer survival in 2000; for the medical research scientists in the USA and the UK who perfected the drugs that saved my life; for Dr Lawrence Einhorn of Indiana who remotely directed my treatment in Belfast; for Belfast City Hospital’s SUPERB staff who cared for me; for the 80-something people who, instead of going home after a day’s work, took the time to go and donate the blood transfusions I needed; for family, friend, colleagues and complete strangers. I’m also so thankful for Lance Armstrong and his decision to be public about his cancer and then to do something with it to help others – he inspired me, back in 2000 when I needed inspiration – I’m thankful for my ‘cancer family’ in Cyclists Combating Cancer, survivors from all over the world I have had the privilege to meet ….. and finally, though it may sound odd, I’m thankful for cancer – my cancer experience has so enriched my life, teaching me what is truly important and allowing me to meet and become friends with so many truly amazing people.
