A Bit Late Blog

The day before yesterday we crossed the Nevada border. You don't need a border marker-which there isn't otherwise there'd be a photo-because the change is dramatic. Nevada has a dry, seared beauty. Tumbleweeds and stone buildings.

Yesterday morning we met with Ann Proffitt of the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center. This great resource for people with cancer helps in every area of a patient's life. They have a great library explaining cancers and treatments, offer help with navigating finances (a gigantic problem), a beauty salon offering free wigs and hats and they also have bungalows for patients that have far to travel for treatment. Gundy and I were so impressed by the work Ann and her team have done. The best bit may be that almost all the staff are cancer survivors.

Thanks Ann for taking time out from your day to show us around. You're incredible!
After we left we cycled 73 miles!
