We took a little break after the madness that was the beginning of the year for Gerry’s career, but now we are back! Thanks to everyone who continued to update the news, gallery, Twitter and Facebook. Thanks also to Juliana for her continued Newsletter duties. Things were always up to date, we just took a breather from the condensed updates.

In an article he wrote for USA Today, Gerard says about his recent charity efforts with Kids Kicking Cancer:
Every contribution makes a difference. Along with my support of Haiti, I’ve had a long-standing involvement with the charity Kids Kicking Cancer. Started by Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg — a martial arts black belt who lost his first child to leukemia — KKC teaches kids with cancer or cancer-related illnesses the healing, mind-body themes of martial arts training. They learn methods of relaxation, meditation, pain management, deep breathing and karate — all of which provide them with a sense of purpose, teamwork and unity. The children I meet as part of my work with KKC are such an inspiration to me. I get so much more back from these kids than I give. The power, the strength and the sheer joy in these kids — many fighting for their lives and in chronic pain — is incredible.
