In honor of Joanne Ferguson, always.

As with last year's event,  I've been selected to sing the national anthem before the start of the race on Sunday Sep 15. The race starts at 9 am. I suspect the anthem will be a few minutes before that. And here's the story of my involvement.
 
The Seacoast Cancer Center was instrumental in providing my late wife Joanne, with the highest quality of life possible beginning with her terminal diagnosis in 2017. The treatment options, and coping strategies they helped facilitate, made it possible for us to have an amazing 2 ½ more years together.
In August 2019, Joanne had an appointment at the SCC. The day before that I had sent photos to her medical team from the weekend before of Joanne kayaking in the Acadia NP area. That weekend was just a few weeks after she had begun rebounding from a very rough few months of treatment & symptoms. At the SCC, one by one her various doctors and nurses came in saying “I heard you went kayaking!” and otherwise gushing about how happy they were that she was feeling better and doing fun activities. The point of all this is that in my experience, the SCC is very tuned in to the fact that cancer patients aren’t just cancer patients, but real people with feelings, and lives, and all the stuff that goes with that. And in my opinion they deserve community support in carrying out their mission.
