Ottawa Marathon, 
May 2003

I was a 30 year old, healthy, athletic male, newlywed teacher, with a wonderful wife who was seven months pregnant. Things were great. The next day, my profile changed. In a matter of hours, the doctors, one being my friend Dave, had determined that I had a large brain tumour that has been slowly growing for 8-10 years. My profile was now a 30-year-old, newlywed male with a wonderful pregnant wife, and a brain tumour.
Surgery happened a month later. The days in the hospital were horrible. I remember each minute, hour, and day I spent there. I particularly remember a strange moment that happened to me in the middle of the night.
