Autism Inclusion Resources (AIR)

I am sorry AIR has been off the grid the past few months. My amazing husband of 18 years was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I want to share his story for anyone interested.

Many of us know someone who has cancer or has been touched by cancer. If you are receiving this email, there is a chance that you
know Michael Ross.

Michael is a 43 year old husband, father, cyclist, athlete, physician, photographer, magician, author,and lulu lemon ambassador. While working a sports medicine physician at Rothman Institute, Michael helps people reach their potential at his remarkable performance center. In the rest of his life, Michael serves as an inspiration and role model for the rest of us.

Michael was diagnosed with an aggressive form of stage 4 colon cancer in September of 2014. Over the past few months, he has had part of his colon removed and undergone intensive chemotherapy. Michael continues to work as a physician, and to work out as an athlete regularly. While the cancer has
given him pause, it has not stopped him.

With this in mind, Michael, encircled by friends, ran the Rothman 8k sporting a shirt with a semi colon on it. The semi colon represents the fact
that he now literally has a semi colon, and that, although the cancer
may have made him pause, his inspirational story continues.

In May, Michael will have further surgery to address his cancer. We are asking you to support Michael, and anyone else you know with cancer, by wearing a semi colon shirt. We are hoping that people will share photos of themselves wearing their shirts the week of Michael's next surgery.
Proceeds from the shirts will benefit the Colon Club, who inspired them.

Do not let cancer end anyone's story.

Thank you for considering.
