Hoisted on the shoulders of her teammates, no doubt! Good thing I lost some weight to conform to a reasonable BMI then, Eugene Zenzen ![]() Good to hear from you, NiceMedTexMD. Hope you're well, too ![]() I thought you were a Norwegian - with a son called Ragnar ![]() ![]() Good Morning Base Campers! ![]() In a day or two we'll bump into our goal ![]() If you read this,Captain coolmandude545, I wish to make an addition to the menu of our celebration dinner. OldChap is mighty fond of beef, which I read that Billy Ewell 1931 also is. A great day is closing in ![]() |

Not sure about the completion time on this. Sadly I, and I'm sure others, will have to depart soon to rejoin our teams for the THOR challenge. Maybe a few more people will pop in and ramp up the results for a quick finish.
----------------------------------------Best wishes and hope everyone a has a great day.

Yes, a few have left for their home teams by now already, Damon.
![]() Excuse me, the accountant is rushing in with a slip saying that PecosRiverM left. Thank you very much for your contribution, PecosRiverM ![]() ![]() However, according to OldChap's yellow sign, we'll make it in time, time being September 12. ![]() Unless everyone jumps ship, we'll even be ahead of time according to his calculations |

One more day!
![]() If you read this,Captain coolmandude545, I wish to make an addition to the menu of our celebration dinner. OldChap is mighty fond of beef, which I read that Billy Ewell 1931 also is. Little Mermaid, we can absolutely add that to the menu! We want to keep OldChap and Billy Ewell 1931 well fed! -Sawyer |

![]() Looking at this showing 0.2 of a day (4.8 hours) since midnight UTC, I would say the target is already met. ![]() |

Well Sawyer, today is the day. The day you get to that preposterous target of 1000 years completed within 1 year. Not just done by September as you were hoping but by your dad’s birthday too.
----------------------------------------Little mermaid has done her bit rallying the teams and keeping track of all the folks who have helped. I have tried to do what I can to coerce those helpers into meeting the 1000 year target by September 12 and a very large number of people have considered your quest a worthy one and added their own computing time to the challenge. I am sure little mermaid will tell you just how many folks helped by tomorrow. I probably stepped on a few toes by adding myself to this team but I did not want to detract from your efforts when I found out I too had cancer. So far so good on that front. Getting on for a year after I first noticed my “lump” I am still on the green side of the grass and the current treatment (immunotherapy) continues without issue. Which brings me to you Brett. May I wish you continued success with your treatment and the ability to enjoy your time with the family. I must mention you too Mrs Thompson ( yes I have not learnt your name). No doubt you have been the glue holding everything together when the devastating news became known. I wish you all the best knowing both you and Brett must be proud of what has been achieved by that super son of yours. I suspect a number of us will step back from the team today and some will take a break whilst others will go back to their home teams and carry on crunching. Some will carry on crunching with Sawyers Cancer Fighting Network though which is a good thing. I for one will be turning off a few machines much to the annoyance of my electricity company. My thanks go to every last one of you that made this happen. It has been a remarkable effort by all concerned. Over to you now Sawyer. If you want a team thread here then now is the time. All the best to you young man. ![]() |

Good Morning Base Campers!
First of all: What a beautiful speech you made, OldChap ♥ ![]() We did get one last crew member on board - indeed, when I refesh the members page, I find that one more has arrived ![]() Welcome to Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network Anonymous ![]() and Anonymous ![]() ![]() It's time to finish Base Camp's longest and most important trek. Also I want to thank each and everyone who took part in making this happen. We were a total of 216 working together. I believe you'll all join me in wishing the Thompson family all good, and the same goes for OldChap and his family. ![]() In the Base Camp Hall of Fame the last double badges have been dealt. Because I want to take a furlough of indefinite duration, all participants in the Sawyers Dad/OldChap trek along with all Base Campers who ever had the hearts and fantasy to participate and play along in any of Base Camp's treks with me as a figurehead will be given this badge: ![]() Any Base Camper is welcome to initiate future treks ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I'm going to finish out the day and then take my leave. Thanks to everyone involved in organizing this for including us in this effort. Good luck all.

Hello everyone!
----------------------------------------Today we have reached our preposterous goal of 1,000 years of cancer research. And it would have been impossible if it weren't for OldChap, Little Mermaid, the Base Campers, and all the other World Community Grid crunchers who joined our team along the way. I can't tell you how much this means to our entire family, and the family that we've gained being a part of this effort. I would like to personally thank every single person who has participated in the Sawyer's Dad/OldChap trek. You can see the entire list of participants here. OldChap and Little Mermaid, I hope our paths cross in the future, and I am grateful for our friendship. My deepest thanks to you both for all you have done. A millennium of cancer research is pretty fantastic. I have created a separate Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network team thread, and will keep crunching on cancer research. All are welcome at any time. ![]() -Sawyer [Edit 1 times, last edit by coolmandude545 at Sep 7, 2020 4:34:29 PM] |
