As cancer survivors, Paul DeRitis and Alex Voglewede did what they needed to do to move forward after treatment - including embracing and shifting their careers in nursing.

Congratulations NY! This win comes despite a well-funded last ditch effort by anti-abortion groups to trick voters. (They were putting up signs saying, "Protect Girls' sports, vote 'no' on Prop 1)

Our little family had a ball tonight at @WilmotCancer Survivors Night with @RocRedWings, celebrating 11 years (almost to the day) since Kevin’s esophageal cancer diagnosis.

It’s been a wild ride but we are so blessed ❤️

Did anybody else on east side of #ROC just witness those helicopters flying so low, they seemed like they were touching the trees? They were so loud and did not show up on my plane finder app. 😰

brb, it’s dusty in here 😭😭

Be like the @BuffaloBills - call your people and tell them "I love you" 📞 ❤️

Tim McDonald came to #ROC from Florida in 2023 for a living donor liver transplant for colorectal cancer that had spread to his liver.

Last week, he celebrated being one year with no evidence of disease.

I stayed up for the Bills pick just to have them trade it away to… the CHIEFS?! 😫

[Ruth Harper-Rhode @ruthings]

I just asked a friend if they have any grass seed they would recommend.

I was an eclipse hype-doubter but, even with the cloud cover, I will admit, the few minutes of totality was pretty epic.

Feeling the energy shift from light to dark and back again so quickly was surreal. It made me feel connected to & part of something bigger!

POV: the sun decides to come out 3 hours after totality

[Ruth Harper-Rhode @ruthings]

Ok so maybe it wasn’t the best view but totality was indeed really cool to witness #Eclipse #rochester

[Ruth Harper-Rhode @ruthings]

The only eclipse I’m seeing today is the one on the cookies we got from Leo’s 😭😭

[Ruth Harper-Rhode @ruthings]

Google searches for “did I look at the sun too long or is it just allergies” will skyrocket by this evening

[Ruth Harper-Rhode @ruthings]

We got one weekend day of nice, sunny weather and I already got myself a forehead sunburn. 🤦‍♀️😩😆
