      I learned about this amazing man, Mr. Leland Fay, right here on this board, became an instant "fan" and went back to his site often. Was delighted to go there today to find his latest post:

      Best wishes to all!

          Thanks Barb – it's always so nice to lean on the words of these strong fighters, especially when they have such a great sense of humor.  (I put Celeste in this group as well!).

              Yes!! And if you check the blogs that he follows, it's no surprise that one of them is "Chaotically Precise"  🙂

              Hi Barb,

              Thanks so much for posting this.  As someone that has experienced a few brain tumors, it’s nice to read about someone who has dealt with them so well.  Thanks so much for sharing this.

              Cheers!

                Whoa… so weird, I was just thinking about Leland yesterday, while I was out for a run! In 2013, I was deserately in need of some positive stories to hang onto. Leland and TJ Sharpe were my "hope warriors"…. along with John Murphy (for those looking for names of survivors still kicking the can down the road years later). Super happy to note that all three gents are still doing well at this time! Thanks for the post, which reminded me to go take a peek into "the life of Leland" again! I wonder how his boys are doing with hockey…. 🙂
