Thinking of you, John. I just heard about your diagnosis yesterday. Will be praying for you. Your welcoming and kindness to us was appreciated when we first moved to the Lake. Wishing you the best. Linda Leu

What an amazing supportive community you are in! I'm so glad you were able to participate in this event. This is so hard - but you two are handling it with such grace!

Very impressive you two. At this stage of tx I can’t imaging going to a public event.

Keep marching on with fellow warriors showing us all how…

I’m so glad you and John got to walk even for just a little bit! As we were walking in the PanCAN walk I thought fondly of John and how amazing he was as a photographer last year and telling him he should pick up event photography. 😊 miss you!

I have been to a few of those walks both in honor of friends and through work. I'm glad you were able to be honored there!

I just learned about your struggles my friend. Made me remember our so many childhood Edgewood experiences. My prayers and thoughts with you and your family.

Such powerful photos. Thank you, John and Leslie.
I'm reminded of the concept of the peaceful warrior. In The Sacred Path of the Warrior, it is said that " the path of spiritual warriorship means living a life of fearlessness, gentleness, and intelligence". That certainly describes the two of you on this path you find yourselves on. Being able to live fully and authentically as you traverse the rocky terrain, you provide an example of Being In The World that literally everyone needs to know and embrace.
Blessings.

Thanks so much for posting these pics. So courageous - all of you.
