I came across a Dan Potokar update at the O-Zone and wanted to pass it on:
Dan will be released from the IU hospital and heading back to Columbus tomorrow, April 23!! His tumor markers are down significantly and his white cell count is climbing steadily.
We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, and a prayer of thanks, as it appears that as of today, the procedure is working.
Dan will return to IU in about 7 days for Cycle 2. While he is at home, he needs to concentrate on rebuilding his strength, both physically and mentally. His parents, Nannette and Ed, also need to regroup, as this has been particularly difficult on them as well.
Great news, indeed, but still a long road ahead. There are three fundraisers this weekend if you'd like to get out and show your support:
- Bowl-A-Thon
Saturday April 26, Noon - 4PM
Grove City Lanes - Pizza for Potokar
Sunday April 27, 2PM - 7PM
Planks on Broadway - Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe
Sunday April 27, 5PM - 7PM
Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe

Dates are wrong, they should say Saturday, Sunday, Sunday.
I will be eating pizza at Planks. I believe they will also have some items for a silent auction.
Thanks TLB, our editor passed out early last night.
See you all at the Bowl-a-Thon and Plank's. This is great news for this young man.
One of the items is a $1000 Easton Gift Card. Tix for that are $1 or 6 for $5.
There is also this one for next week:
Buffalo Wild Wings
