q21d

Chemotherapy is difficult and demanding.  This event will hopefully shed some light on what our heroes edure.  There are different regimens, but the regimen Alex started with was one cycle of chemotherapy every 21 days.  Q21d in the medical field stands for every 21 days.  This event will have two workouts released 21 days apart, and each to be completed in a weeks time.  The first workout, Chemo, is centered around introduction chemotherapy.  The second workout, HD-ICE, programmed by Street Parking (Streetparking.com), raises awareness of the only chemotherapy that worked for Alex.  This therapy was the only regimen that resulted in "marked improvement" in MRI scans.  HD-ICE stands for High Dose Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, and Etoposide.  All are chemotherapy drugs.  

Proceeds from this event will go towards New Diagsosis Care Packages for new patients and their family.  Staying in a hospital is no fun.  These care packages will help make hospital stays more managable.  Some items included in the care package are towels, blankets, pillows, outdoor shower mats, duffel bags, coffee, Aeropresses, and many other essential items.
