I'm part of Carol's Crew to raise money for the National Brain Tumor Society.  Carol's mom was one of my mother's roommates in a nursing home.  We've stayed buddies. 

This year the team is walking in honor of my brother Paul, who died on July 4.  A few years ago the team's fundraising was in honor of my brother John.  It's still hard to absorb.

Carol leads the way.  Bring on the spunk and tenacity.   

Here's a link if you'd like to support the cause and this team.  Or you can do what my brother John suggested -- go out with those you love for ice cream.
