Jill passed away on January 20, 2013 after a 10 year battle against the disease and the side effects of her many treatments. This blog will now serve as a memorial to Jill.

Getting out more

Jill has had three good weeks since my last post. I spent last week in Boise visiting Sylvia, Jill and Scott. Jill's brother Harley brought Elise (neice) , and Will (nephew) for a couple of days as well while Harley's wife Amy was at a conference nearby. We had a great visit.

This week, Jill starts physical therapy to speed up the process of rebuilding her muscles and bone mass. She will have therapy three times per week. In addition, she is resuming some of her volunteer activities for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Over the next two weeks she will make several speaches to recruit participation in Society's Team in Training program. When she can, Jill also meets with the runners early Saturday mornings as they start their weekly group training runs. Jill appreciates the important work of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and its many volunteers, and I know they appreciate the inspiration and encouragement that Jill gives them.

Best,

Tom
