The @todayshow is 70 years old! It’s been in the background soundtrack of my mornings for as long as I can remember. My favorite morning of Today? Unexpectedly spotting a familiar face on a familiar shirt in the plaza! @givetolife #ispywithmylittleeye, something orange! 🧡🎗

Eric McLean took his last breath 9 years ago today, on his older brother’s 30th birthday. While it’s hard to ignore the heartache that today brings, we try to make this day about celebrating Mike, his first bone marrow donor and one of his biggest fans. The bond these two shared moved mountains. Please join Eric and the rest of us in wishing Mike a Happy Birthday. We hope the sunshine of this day can overcome the shadow of one of our darkest. Happy Birthday, Mike! 🧡🎗 #brothersforlife #bloodbrothers #ironman #ironmike

On this day 9 years ago, the last picture of Eric was taken. Both ex-Milwaukee Brewer and World Series Champion Larry Hisle, and ex-Green Bay Packer and Superbowl Champion William Henderson came to visit Eric at his parents’ home in Two Rivers. He got to wear both a World Series ring and a Superbowl ring on the same hand, at the same time! Thank you again and always for this memory, Mr. Hisle and Mr. Henderson. 🧡🎗#champions #inhonor #inmemory #leukemiaawareness @larryhisle @brewers @packers @letsfcancer

Attention followers! Just a reminder that you can give to charities regularly without any extra effort or finances. When shopping on Amazon, simply use Amazon Smile instead and they’ll give a percentage of your purchases to the charity of your choosing. It’s as easy as typing in smile.amazon.com instead of just amazon.com and then search for Leukemia Ironman Fundraiser for Eric. Voila! Bezos starts kicking back as soon as you make a purchase. If you already have, please leave us a comment so we can thank you personally.

Thank you always! We hope you have a great week!! 🧡🎗

An excerpt from a journal of Eric’s written on October 28, 2008, worth sharing. I’ll swing on Facebook and post the remainder. In the meantime, breathe lightly this beautiful Saturday morning. Make it a great one! Life is beautiful. 🧡🎗 #perspective #fcancer #quotes

The majority of us will never know when or how we are going to die. For better or for worse, we have no idea how much time we have left. But what if you did and what if it wasn’t as much as you thought? What would you expedite? How would you spend your minutes? How many “some days” would you plan tomorrow? Take the answers to those questions and apply them as soon as possible. Eric had that perspective and insight. It changed the remainder of his life. If I had to guess, I’d say Eric’s only “regret” was waiting until he was dying to truly start living, to take the governor off and ride wide open. Here’s a life supporter doing just that, living! Grab your LIFE shirt and live like Eric did. Go for a walk, book a flight, whatever makes you happy, just make it good one! Don’t waste days, they matter! Smile today. #live

Through the generosity of our donors, we will be helping not one, but TWO young cancer patients as best we can.

Next meet, Macullen Schnell, a 23-year-old from Kiel, WI who works as an officer with the New Holstein Police Department was diagnosed last year with Grey Zone Lymphoma.

We’re with you, Macullen! Stay strong! #lymphomaawareness #lymphoma #survivor
