I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about today. But then I read Bridget’s post. I’ve been a longtime reader – and big fan of hers – for years now. And to stumble across her blog today when I was at a loss for words on my own blog seemed meant to be.

Like I told Bridget, putting faces to this illness is so important. It lets people see just who they’re helping – and what this disease is really like.

I hope Brandon gets the chance to feel healthy again. To play with his kids. To grow old with his wife. To ski or run or travel. To do whatever he wants to do. We all deserve that chance.

So please take a few minutes to watch Brandon and Nycole’s story. There are many ways you can help: share this on Facebook, Twitter, your blog, or send an email to family and friends. And if you can donate anything, that helps too. This blogging community is a powerful thing, and I can’t wait to show Brandon and Nycole that we’re here rooting for them.
