Flying to Tel Aviv tomorrow to start HSCT treatment on November 2nd.  I am thankful that my father and stepmother have volunteered to go with me and help out.  I am also very grateful for the ridiculous amount of support I have received to help me get to this point.  Thank you all.

There were two fundraisers (that I had zero to do with) put on in my hometown of Windsor, ON.  A lot of people put a lot of work into making these happen, and a lot of people took time out of their own lives to attend and/or contribute.  Thank you.  Also, my wife Anne's parents are Croatian.  The support that the Croatian community has given to my family and I has been unbelievable.  Thank you.  And, in the last few days, many people stopped by, called, emailed, texted, etc., to say goodbye and good luck.  Thank you.

Tough day for me having to leave home.  Reality hit me pretty hard.  But, I think Anne said it best  when she said "this is your shot at having a better life, so you gotta go do it".  Yes, it is, and yes, I do.  That filled me with a different emotion, and I am ready to get on with it.

One of the purposes of this blog is for me to track my progress. Here is a video of me walking earlier today at my dad's house:

Happy Halloween everybody, from my favourite Toopy (Elaina) and Binoo (Aly).
