Stories about my son, six year old cancer survivor Spencer Sartin. True tales about having a child with cancer. Profiles of cancer survivors. Cancer resources.
Apparently my Google page rank is just high enough that some people find my blog on purpose. Two people found the 24 Hour Fitness entry, leading to an exciting July.
First, Paul Walhus, who attended the 24 Hour Fitness event contacted me with pictures. Paul was organizing Tour Watch 2005 – an event at Austin’s Central [...]
I have become Spencer’s publicist. I must not be very good at it since all I get is unpaid gigs, but they are all helping publicize the fight against cancer of all kinds.

Last call for Austinintes interested in participating in Team in Training – come by the Team in Training 2006 kickoff at the Hyatt on Town Lake February 2, 2006, from 6-7 PM.

We’re sitting at home watching “Chasing Lance: The Fans’ Story” on the Travel Channel right now. It strikes me that I might get a little blog traffic, so I am putting up this article to write something about what we see and what has happened since the show finished filming.
It’s over. I loved it. Congratulations [...]
