The Finish Line...


This picture is of Zach and Jeff Davidson. Zach is four years old, and was diagnosed with leukemia in November of '06. He is in remission like Kaylee and he frequents the same places as Kay, CMH. His father Jeff participates in the Team in Training event sponsored by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I know Zach's mother, Laura, from a job we both worked at in the 1990's, Dos Hombres in Brookside.
I think this picture speaks volumes, and it needs no caption. A father and son going across a finish line. Hard work, and determination gets you from point A to point B. The same characteristics that will get you through life's events. I am pleased to tell you that Zach is in the maintenance phase of his treatment and feeling great. The finish line, in this race to recovery, is in their sights.
I wish the Davidson family a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year. Thank you Jeff for being an inspiration. It is people like you that give motivation to others like me. You are making a difference and helping a cause we both are connected to. They say you lead by example and you have certainly done that my friend!
