Quick update… One of the\u00a0Alecia’s Stem Cells JDRF Walk team shirts from many moons ago made reference to “Nice Stems”, as in “nice legs”. \u00a0It was cheeky.<\/p>\n

A year ago, I was planning what I was going to wear to a polo match and what snacks I needed to bring tomorrow. \u00a0Tonight I will be laying out my cycling gear, grabbing bananas, Gatorade, and pickles on my way home from work.<\/p>\n
