My current condition...
 

Hello everyone... I have been undergoing chemotherapy for the past month and half...and it will continue for another months. If you have contacted me about various items related to board, I will get to each issue when I can... Right now cancer has taken over my life... this chemotherapy has me extremely weak and sick. However, once this is behind me... My focus will shift back to racing and IOW... I ask for your patience during this time.

Thanks and Take Care.
Bill Gardner

Re: My current condition...
 

I continue to pray for you, Bill. I found out two hours ago that I have Hodgkins Lymphona Stage Three and will begin chemo on March 30. I agree with you. I am ready to talk racing also but it is so far in the back seat right now it's not even in sight. Get better, Bill.
In Christ,
Tom

Bill, There is only one thing wrong with this Indianaopenwheel.com right now. The person that has made this my favorite website is under the weather. I know you are doing everything in your power to remedy that situation. Keep up the good fight my friend, and don't worry about website issues. You will have an extra potent dose of prayers from us.

Tom, I've yet to meet you but rest assured we will be thinking about you and sending prayers your way too.

Re: My current condition...
 

Posted via Mobile Device Bill I am so sorry for all you have been through, I cant understand. But I do understand long sleepless nites with God. I pray for your acceptance of Him, His comfort, His love for you and how much it hurt Him when one of His kids is sick.

Re: My current condition...
 

Bill, you remain in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. Thank you for keeping us updated on your health.

Tom, I will add you to my prayers and also wish you a full recovery.

Hope you are both feeling well enough to visit your favorite race track this spring.

Re: My current condition...
 

Tom and Bill,
We are reading a story in my 7th Grade Special Needs class that discusses Hero's who they are what they do. To you guys and those who will be fighting personal battles with illness and other individual things, they are heros as well..like all of those we know, have known and will know... including you both. Keep fighting elbows up. As always in our thoughts!

Re: My current condition...
 

Bill,

My prayer is that you will make a full recovery. I have never met you and I hope I get the opportunity to meet you at a race and thank you in person for all that you do for my favorite sport.

Tom,

I am praying for you to make a full and speedy recovery. I always enjoy talking with you at Haubstadt. Hope to see you there on May 9th.
