Bob Smidt

While I began my journey running to honor my mum who passed away from leukemia I have come to realize that there are others who are still battling this awful disease and so while I am running to honor the lives of some no longer with us who have had blood cancers, I am also running to honor the fighting spirit of those who need our help most. Bob Smidt is one of those who I am running for.

"Born February 12, 1965. 42 years old. Contracted cancer (AML Leukemia ) in December of 2002. Still having rejection problems and many other health problems resulting from his transplant and still not back at work. Living in Tantallon, Saskatchewan. Surveyor by profession and works for the Potash Company of Saskatchewan. He loves sports, dirt biking, snowmobiling, played provincial hockey. Is crazy about sport fishing and fly tying. A nature preservation buff, almost a 'tree hugger' :) Has many other varied interests. We hope that he will have a LONG life."
