If you’re the praying sort, send prayers. If you’re the non-praying sort, send, I don’t know, good vibes. Derek got some really crappy news, and he and his family could use your support:
To boil it down: my cancer has grown and spread. My goals now are to see the Winter Olympics come to Vancouver in 2010, and beyond that to renew my driver’s license when it expires again in five years. But while my medical team and I will do everything to try to make that happen, there is a significant chance I might not live that long, that I might be dead before five years are up.
Be strong, dude.

Gillian asked me to mention that she will once again be participating in The Underwear Affair, a BC Cancer Foundation fundraiser for fighting those below-the-belt (prostate, colorectal, ovarian, testicular, bladder, cervical, and uterine) cancers:
I am doing the event again this July 7th, though this time I will be doing the 5K walk due to physiotherapist’s orders that running’s out. However, this means that people will be able to see my near-nakedness more clearly, which is way more embarrassing than when zooming past them at lightning speed.
That’s a bit disappointing, because I was going to say that a bonus is reading about how badly she injures herself during these runs. Alas, this year we’re going to have to make due with the underwear photos. There’s no word on whether the team uniform will change for 2007.
Think of what’s in your pants, and the pants of your family and friends (as if you’re not doing so already). Go forth and donate.
