Shelley's cancer is Stage IIIB, but we're all really hopeful about her response to chemo, so I think it's inaccurate (and, frankly, unkind) to label it terminal as the Greene County Daily article did. We had a super turnout for the 5K today. Not sure of the total number of people but there were about 125 runners and more than that many walkers, so maybe 250-300.

There's an account at US Bank where people can make contributions to a fund for Shelley.

Thanks for the correction, Laura. I have fixed it on the blog post. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to fix it elswhere.
