What a gorgeous weekend! Warm weather, sunshine and fall colors, just perfect. On Saturday, Sawyer and I participated in the University's Horse to Holler Hike (a 7-mile hike through the woods from the University's Equestrian Center, ending at Pollywogg Holler and their yummy wood-fired pizza). Mark was the principal organizer of the event and was busy making sure everything went smoothly (which it did). About 150 people participated and all seemed to enjoy it. Sawyer was glad to be back in the woods, feeling strong and healthy. He's looking forward to a longer hike in a few weeks with Mark in the Adirondacks.
Part of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the CURE Childhood Cancer organization in Rochester.

Things are smooth
Love to report that life is pretty normal at the McFadden house! Sawyer's plugging away at the usual school work and enjoying his experience at AU taking his first college class (calculus). I know I can't say the same thing about my own experience with college calc!
He continues to stay physically active, is staying involved with the boy scout troop as an adult leader, is working on his college application and essay, and felt pretty proud to get officially registered to vote.
His next appointment in Rochester is Monday. As long as all goes as expected, it should be a short appointment with a quick physical and short infusion of vincristine.
Mark is busy arranging a hiking trip to the Adirondacks in mid-October. That will be a huge mental boost for Sawyer to be able to accomplish a hike and knock off a high-peak or two.
We submitted photos to his school for his senior yearbook. They wanted the official portrait, plus three others (a current candid and two baby/young shots). I couldn't resist showing you the ones we submitted from his younger years. He said one of the female yearbook staff (a friend of his) has already commented on just how cute he was!
