Hot Member: Schnaars

One of the coolest people I've met since my move out to San Fran, Scott Schnaars, is this week's Hot Member.  Besides being just an all-around great guy, he's also got an incredible story (plus, he's got 2 of the most adorable kids in the world, and coming from a gal with 4 of the most adorable kids of the world, that's saying alot).

Scott's wife, Holly, was diagnosed with cancer and he's been sharing their story with the world via Hope for Holly.  An excerpt from one of his latest posts, about a few nights sans kids:

Like our Hawaii vacation, this one was cancer free. Like Hawaii, if the subject comes up, it is simply This Silliness. As in ‘Once This Silliness is over, we will take a long vacation.’ or ‘I’m tired of This Silliness and I don’t feel well.’

Right now, This Silliness is causing some major problems. The side effects of chemotherapy have been less than pleasant. Holly has been experiencing major stomach cramps and more than a bit of neuropathy, but still remains insanely positive and upbeat about beating This Silliness. We know that we will. We know that we are winning this fight. Unfortunately, This Silliness has gotten some punches in during this round.

Knuckle Sandwich, another of Scott's blogs, is also a fab read that just really makes you feel like you know him, even if you aren't lucky enough to do so in RL (real life).   As well, if you want to take a stroll through what it's like to full-scale tear out and remodel your home, Scott's Home is something you'll want to see as well.

I can't recommend their sites enough, especially if you have a loved one struggling with cancer (and sadly, who doesn't?).   Visit Scott's personal profile and leave him a message.
