Gary Loren Christensen. Our sweet Papa! Gary was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma in July of 2010. He has been battling his Cancer for six months now. He has been responding really well to his Chemo treatments. Gary just received the results of his CT scan and he is currently in remission. Whoop, whoop!!! Gary is one of four boys, he has three boys, three daughter-in-laws, and six adorable grandkids. (I know I'm bias) He lives in Colorado Springs with his high-school sweet heart, Cynthia. Gary is a silent angel. I don't know how he does it but he always seems to show up with whatever it seems you want or need. For me it is usually Chinese food. He is always, and I mean always serving others. He often disappears from the party and returns with whatever is needed. I decide to marry Jordan after I had met Gary. He his an amazing example of a husband and a father. He is always taking care of Cynthia's needs. Seriously, ladies Gary's example is why my husband is so amazing. It is pretty adorable watching them take care of each other when they are both very sick. We love you Gary. We run for you!
I'll be running in Portland

Who is ever ready to just run?
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready but would gladly run any distance for Gary and Cynthia. Training starts tomorrow.
I cannot think of two better people to run for! I started practicing last weekend after my injections and I did 4 miles both days. Thank you for this opportunity. Selfishly, it will help my body too! I love Gary and Cynthia. Their warmness is evident when you are near or far away b/c of their dedication to the Savior. I lost a cousin to cancer. They found his lump when he was doing his physical preparing for his mission. He never got to go on his mission here; but I'm confident he found his calling in a better place. Love you two lots!
