Marathon

It may be because of the Boston Marathon earlier this week, or the fact that one of Marlowe's favorite nephrologists ran, but there has been a lot of talk of her treatment being a marathon not a sprint. Marathons are physically and emotionally demanding.  While Marlowe takes on the physical challenges, we are there with her every step of the way.  We didn't get to train ahead of time, don't know what the course looks like, or what mile we are on, or how many heartbreak hills there are.  Luckily we have many fans cheering for us along the way.

If you didn't catch this story about the last man to finish the race, it's truly inspiring.  Love is strong.
