Here in Cincinnati, OH we have a climber that's making a difference. His name is Rick Payne.

At age 29 he's in his 4th remission from leukemia that he's been battling for 4 years...and in 5 minutes he caught the attention of our entire city. What's his point? His point is this http://www.marrow.org/. Who knew saving a life could be so simple.

the right person, right time, right place, and courage. respect and thanks to a guy who did a good thing, many good things go unnoticed, i'm glad his didn't.

good article describing our wonderful and infuriating and scary medical care for serious illnesses - enjoy it while it lasts...
(i don't type in front of patients, just stay an hour later and do the record after)

recent turn of events has put our local hero back in the hospital to attempt another bone marrow transplant.

If you have a minute you could really brighten his day...his birthday was also on the 15th so any kind of get well/birthday card would be appreciated...even if you don't know him...
