As many of you already know, Mike Seelen (UW Men's Rowing Class of '01) has been diagnosed with advanced-stage Hodgkins Lymphoma.  Mike's wife, Noelle, is also a Badger (UW Women's Lightweight Rowing Class of '01).  We are hoping to raise enough funds to help the Seelen's offset some of the costs of visits for out of town family and to take some things off their plate while Mike is undergoing treatment.  In addition, any additional money raised will be passed on to the Seelen's to use for whatever they need, such as some fun outings for their 3 small boys or to pay for what are sure to be substantial medical bills.  Any little bit would help.  If anyone else has any thoughts on anything else that we can do for them, please let us know.  Please keep Mike and Noelle and their boys in your prayers and send them lots of healing thoughts.  

I am already so overwhelmed with the outpouring of support for Mike and Noelle and their family and can truly say that today I am very proud to be a Badger and particularly proud of our Badger rowing family.
