I've been a cancer survivor since my bone marrow transplant at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in 2004.  I have minimal side effects and continue doing what I love -- spending time with family and friends, cycling, and teaching high school photography and video production.  One year after my transplant I did my first Team In Training event, a century ride in Lake Tahoe.  I continued to do four more events.  My high school video students put on a film festival every year to support the Northwest Chapter of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
