A Memorably July 4th...

It's July 5th and I'm in Adult Day Hospital at Sloan Kettering waiting to be called in for treatment, but more so recounting the events of my 4th of July. My first Independence Day in New York City, it was awesome!

My friend Julia and I came into the city with plans to go to Battery Park, near the Statue of Liberty, in lower Manhattan to watch the fireworks... But, when we arrived at Ronald McDonald House, they informed us that they were having a private party for the house guest's right under the Queensboro Bridge on the East River! NYPD picked everyone up in a police bus, and escorted us to the venue. It was simply gorgeous.

NYPD sponsored the event; they stayed and took pictures with all the younger kids, and grilled countless hamburgers and hotdogs! It was just a fun atmosphere, thank you to everyone who generously put this event together and volunteered their time and their holiday!

As I mentioned earlier, I'm waiting for treatment. I'm still receiving PDX, but a different regimen schedule. The schedule is three weeks of treatment, one week of rest, three weeks of treatment, and then scans. As of now, I'm doing good and feeling great! I am looking forward to coming home next week. I look forward to seeing many of you at the Comedy and Magic Club on the 19th.

Fight 2 Win,
