Anne and Dave Seago learned last week that Anne has been struck with ovarian cancer. 

Both Anne and Dave are much loved and admired members of our club and this news is a shock. 
Anne is beginning chemo this week at Tacoma General as an outpatient.  Please send all your best thoughts their way.  As the club learns more we will try to keep all of Anne and Dave's Wheelmen friends updated.
