For all of you that have been around a while and know Duane H... He fell very ill many months ago, and has been in the hospital ever since. Shortly after he rode his bike with Bill in Race Across Indiana (RAIN 175 miles) is when he fell ill due to a heart valve problem. I periodically speak with his wife, and this morning was informed that he is so malnourished and dehydrated that there is 90% chance of death. Please keep him and Alisica in your thoughts and prayers, and remember to follow your dreams because life is very fragile and short, and can change at any moment.

Here was the last update his wife posted.

Alisica for Duane: Got a call from the charge nurse today; Duane's organs are failing, he's malnourished and dehydrated. I drove up this evening and will be with him. We've got a lot of amazing friends and family praying. Duane is a strong man.....please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks ~Alisica~

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
