This is my blog about my medical journey through Lymphoma. I was diagnosed April 11, 2006. Currently, I am in remission with a high chance of cure. It was non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, specifically Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The tumors ended up being in my hip, my sternum and my backbone. I have left the blog up for anyone to read, and I also use it to remember all I went through. Because of all the drugs and stress, some of it is foggy, so it is fun to go back and see what I went through!

Open bid to Junior Olympics!!

It was a pretty funny sight courtside today. I currently have some crazy allergies including a runny nose and horse throat, so I was yelling like a madman at my team. By the way, I buzzed my hair now, so I am "that crazy bald coach in the wheelchair over there". I am especially crazy because I am tired and on some hillarious drugs. I sort of rolled around all day up to random people and made conversation. I am waiting in Dallas in the hotel for my a couple players before we go get on the plane. I am fortunately going home in a really cool friend's private jet so I am going to lay down on the couch and not have to wear a mask.

Anyway, crazy coach or not, we did a very hard to do thing and won an open bid to Junior Olympics this weekend. That means my team of 8th graders will be playing with the top 30+ teams in the nation late in June. Worth the allergies and the ziplock baggy present I left my cab driver.

Way to go Jason, along with Robyn and the whole City Beach 14s team! You must've been the good luck charm. The description of yourself as the coach in the wheelchair brings visions of the funny coach from the movie Dodgeball. Just make sure you don't throw any wrenches at the players.

Keep up the good fight!

Regards,
Coach Dave Winn

YES! I KNEW YOU WOULD DO IT!! i only got to watch part of the matches against Skyline and that other random club with the red and white jerseys, but congrats!! I guess it's my team's chance to get our bid...which we WILL get (even if it takes calling my good friend CHUCK NORRIS to come and stand on the sidelines cheering for beach, intimidating the other team and stuff). see you soon, and take care!!
