Top Blog Post #4 was a sudden shock as we sent this message to a hospital bed in Houston Texas. In that bed was my good friend Jim Munroe preparing for his first large dosage of chemotherapy.
Jim was experiencing pain in his leg the previous week when he and his wife were visiting us Colorado. After he left and went back to his home in Texas, he went to the doctor and was told that he had the most aggressive form of Leukemia. After finding out about this, Marchelle and I felt helpless to help since we were here in Colorado and he was in Texas. So with just a few days before Christmas, we invited his closest Colorado friends over to our house to record a video message of encouragement to him.
Early Christmas morning we posted this video and gave him a call. I will never forget that phone call as he watched the video. Suffice to say we all were crying….
Years later, Jim has made a full recovery after a bone marrow transplant and has used this story to effect thousands of college students around the country. You can see more of his work HERE.
