The 3 B's - BoltBus, Burritos, and Blame.
So during the Blame-A-Thon, BoltBus was nice enough to not only offer a raffle prize, but give a few of us a ride over to the North Star Bar from Indy Hall.
Our driver was awesome. I will admit right now that I can’t remember his name, because I’m a tool.
When we pulled up to the North Star Bar, the Taco Bell Truck was there. BoltBus AND the Taco Bell Truck. Wow, when does that...
10 Digits. 10 Minutes. That's all.
Since being diagnosed with Cancer I have become increasingly unreliable as far as my short term memory goes. This is a side effect of the chemotherapy.
One of my bad habits is collecting business cards, and not going back to them for a while. After conferences, etc. This time, I really screwed up.
Our friend Lindsey, whom we lost in August - gave me a business card with her information...

Lucky #9? You betcha.
So I went into chemo #9 today not knowing if my PET scan results were even in. I had the test on Friday morning. (the scan to the right is NOT me)
Not sure if I ever shared this story publicly, but my oncologist, Dr. Andrew Solan was chosen at random.
My family Dr. suggested an oncologist in his building.
They didn’t take my insurance.
So I called my insurance (the same ones that would...
Lucky #9?
So 9 is my favorite #. The Blame-A-Thon was on 9/9/09.
I was born on 11/9/79.
When I fly, I try to (and most of the time do) sit in the 9th row.
Tomorrow is my 9th chemo treatment. 9 of 12. My last chemo treatment went well…I slept through it, woke up, and then did a 24 hour event for #BlameDrewsCancer. I paid for it dearly though physically and mentally, but it was worth it.

At the end of the Blame-A-Thon, I was wiped. It was almost midnight. I was ready to go home and take a really long break. And then I talked to MaryBeth Hammer. A break was not in my future, because our work is nowhere near done yet.

This fight just got more personal.
Cancer is evil.
Cancer doesn’t discriminate.
Cancer must go.
Cancer took one of our fighters recently, and like we have before….we pick up the ball and run with it. Right for the end zone.
The end zone being a cure for this horrific and lowly “disease”.

24 hours. In Reverse - Part 1
So we did it. We got through the 24 hour Blame-A-Thon. We raised some amazing money for our organization and for our partner LIVESTRONG.
The awesome folks who showed up had a blast. Our friends at the North Star Bar stood on their heads for us from Noon till Midnight.
It was a rollercoaster. I decided a few weeks before that I wasn’t going to go to sleep the entire time. Not...

Rest now Lindsey, we got this.
We have lost a dear friend.
A fighter.
A crusher.
A wonderful person.
She didn’t lose, though. She won. She is THE definition of a winner.
Lindsey Goldhagen, you have pushed the ball forward on closing up cancer’s shop once and for all. Today, Team Blame Cancer picks that ball up and will carry it into the endzone for a big old touchdown.
