Malibu Nautica Triathlon

The race is 2 days away and at the last minute I have bowed out and will be spending some time with my son.

Over the last month the idea of cancer research has taken on a new meaning for me when on July 31, 2009 my twin brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was emotional about the work of CHLA before but wow, how things have changed, there is dramatic new urgency. It has also put a few things into perspective and reality, one of those is the importance of every moment we spend with those we love and I can not pass up the opportunity to build a memory of the first scout camp with my son.

My training this year has gone well and I have been looking forward to doing more than "survive" the swim. I'm planning on participating in another race this year and I'll let you know the results.

The team at NBCUniversal has raised nearly $75k to date, I'm proud to be part of such a group.

We all have things we are passionate about, thank you for joining me in mine.
Fred.
