Many of you must have learned of Dr. Randy Pausch and his fight against pancreatic cancer. I recall my wife Rachael recording an episode of Oprah that featured him presenting what he calls his Last Lecture. Since that episode that aired months ago, he has gained much notoriety and has published a book entitled “The Last Lecture”.
Randy’s lecture is an amazingly inspirational experience. I would urge all of you take this in if you haven’t already. Also, below the video I have placed a link to his update page where he is posting updates on his health. This is obviously a huge battle and he’s way down the road with it – prayers are always powerful…

Thanks for sharing the “last lecture”…I think his journey is amazing. Working with individuals and families facing life-altering health challenges for twenty years and living with a chronic illness for over thirty years, I’ve learned something important…we all have a “last lecture”. We may not get to be on Oprah, write a book or be the subject of an ABC Primetime hour, but I believe we all have a “last lecture” that needs to get out to the world. I hope each of us thinks about what we want to share and does so with those in our circle. Fortunately with technology our “last lecture” can reach the global heights of Randy Pausch…we all have to reach.
Greg,
Agreed. Randy’s story is quite amazing and I think the more people talk about their plight the better they can feel. If people like us make the choice, our circumstances can seem like we’re sitting in the corner of a damp room without a window. That’s not moving on. We need to be out, walking, in the sun – living. We have a choice to do either.
Appreciate the posts on the site.
