A big day for GLiO 1000!. Because of the generosity of more than 200 donors, today we presented the Malnati Brain Tumor Institute with a check for $100,000. And while this year's trip is done, GLiO 1000 is not! Stay tuned!

Friday morning update: the WaveRunner is still being evaluated, and I'm waiting to learn whether the GLiO 1000 journey can continue.

I'll share another update as soon as I know more. Thank you for all the encouragement, prayers, and support along the way. 🌊

The journey is temporarily on pause while we sort through an issue with the WaveRunner. Not the update I was hoping to share, but I’ll keep you posted as I learn more. Thanks for following along. 🌊
