His wife melissa has Cystic Fibrosis and hes doing this to raise money for further research and prevention efforts. We are lucky to have both brian and melissa joining us now this morning. Hi, guys. Hi, how are you . I am reading your story and its about a 10 day challenge but it feels like a love story between you of really a team effort of inspiration and working together to tackle Cystic Fibrosis, which is so important. First of all, he got a marathon tomorrow. Brian we will get to your personal story. How are you preparing . It will be hot tomorrow and your timing is impeccable. It will be bad. I picked a bad week for nick i didnt get to choose though. I will start really, really early pick it will probably have to start between 4 30 am or 5 am to beat the heat. It will be nasty everywhere so i cant really avoid it, but i can run from the sun deck thats the plan. Run from the sun. Melissa, at six months old, you are diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and reading your , a double Lung Transplant and everything that you have faced in terms of challenges beyond that, you are also a hiker and a bike rider. To me how this story has influenced your life. I was lucky to have two wonderful parents who anyway, wanted me to live as much of a normal life as i could pick they always said that i was a person before my disabilities eric i am missile with Cystic Fibrosis rather than a patient. They influenced me and they loved hiking and took me out to do a bunch of things and exposed me to as many things as possible. My Life Expectancy was 11 years old when i was diagnosed when i was young, they just wanted for me to as much of the world as possible. So i just carry that in honor of both of them. It is inspiring to see even just the pictures of this full left. You are living and thats inspiring to a lot of people. I imagine brian, it sounds like from everything youre doing, it has been very inspiring to you as well. Very much so. We balance each other out in a lot of different ways. Have been lucky enough to be able to kind of bring more attention to this cause with the intensity of the effort. When they announced that it was a possibility to do any of these things, i thought i would do all nine of them in 10 days just with the hope of having myself bringing more encouragement to get people pulled it really has. We have a great group of donors and people who support us year in and year out there, we have been doing these a lot and would like to get involved with all the Cystic Fibrosis charities in the bay area. We are involved with the Cystic Fibrosis Lifestyle Foundation right now. Whatever it takes to extend Life Expectancy and to keep moving things in the right direction. We want to be a part of that when it happens to say we were a part of it. Lets just take people through. What you are doing. You started on the seventh with a 40 mile bike ride and followed that up with a 10k run the next day and then connected with 100 mile bike run. And then you rested and then a half day marathon. And then a 62 mile bike ride. 25 mile bike ride and then im exhausted just go through the list but thats the list on the screen. When youre struggling through through some of this because these underthings are mental game. What are you thinking about to get you through it and what you think in terms of you already said you will start early with the merrifiled. What will be the hardest part of this final challenge . Its mostly the aches and pains that add up and make it mental. I end up hurting and we are places that i didnt anticipate. I am sure that if it was an elite level athlete they would probably look at this and scoff. Most of the time it is just a lot of turning the mind off more than anything. And i am lucky to have melissa here and my friend scott and his wife that are helping me out to make sure that i stay optimal so water is on hand. Or what ever it takes to get through these things. And most of the time is just do it. I know it will get done, and that is the motivation. There is a finish line to all of this. At this point, we have had so much love and support with what we have done that it is really hard to not finish it. If i dont finish it, then it is not really putting the endcap on it that it needs. It is necessary to finish it and thats what i am looking at. You are a lead in my book. I dont know about you not being a lead because this is pretty impressive. This is an Education Campaign as well so people can understand her, it seems to me that the endurance of it is like the march to finding treatments and cures for what you are talking about in terms of Cystic Fibrosis. What you find is the biggest prize for people as you try to educate about what this is like and what is needed to fight it . A lot of it is Great Research for Cystic Fibrosis with the new developments but also there is transplant patients. A lot of people that need Lung Transplants or kidney transplants or heart and lung it is a lot of education to help promote research to further the advancement of transplantation pick i think another thing that is really important is that the implications of cf is not just a lung disease. My wife did six years of dialysis because of the antirejection medicine caused her kidneys to fail. So diabetes comes with it work and just like all of these Different Things that can be created that can put you in and out of the hospital 100 times per year. It is just a very complicated thing that we are all starting to sort out together and that the most important part about the education is to realize how allencompassing it is for everything. It goes from your lungs to your immune system to everything and we are here to bring awareness to it and we have done well so far and we will keep going. I am inspired by your effort and by your love story and by using this platform to help so many others to raise money. I will think of you early in the morning hoping that they heat holds off or just a little bit to ease you into that full marathon that you are tackling during this heat wave. We will be sure to link to your fund ways are website. Good luck to both. Thank you for your time this morning pick thank you very much. So great to talk to them. Rosemary, i wish there was a way you could turn down the dial on the temperature to hold off just a little bit for brian as he does that mere thought.

The large outage were seeing is in East San Jose were several hundred families remain without power. Ktvu Elissa Harrington joined us live, and elissa . It does not look like we are out of the woods yet, but there are a lot of questions in terms of people and their notifications and were they expecting this and its different from those planned power shutoffs, right . Right absolutely, yeah. People said they got no notice, and pg e said they could not let people know ahead of time because it was an emergency situation.

This week, the daily coronavirus total tended to be higher than normal, as the state clear that backlog. Well, california is the first state in the u. S. To top 600,000 coronavirus cases.

The state says its also rolling out Distance Learning support for teachers and the Counseling Coalition to help students and families at home. Record number of students will be using those in cameras as they take part in online classes in the new school year, and thats creating a painful situation for some low income students in oakland and many other places across the country.

If somebody has a messy room or they have people that are in the same room as them and they are using the same space, it can be a little embarrassing. Allow our students to not turn their cameras on because we know that, you know, there are circumstances at home that maybe they are not totally comfortable sharing.

Well, San Francisco police and the fbi have made an arrest in the murder of a teenager. This happened back in july last year. Fernando madrigal has been charged in the shooting death of a 15yearold. The fbi says hes a gang member with a history of violence. They say the shooting was a dispute over territory. It happened near the victims home in the mission district. This murder was senseless and horrific. The victim just 15 years old, was targeted because of the neighborhood he lived in. The fbi says it will continue to investigate a shooting while pursuing and dismantling gangs that are targeting the citys children. San Francisco Police have arrested a man they say stole 100 laptops from an elementary school. It happened late last month. This was at st. Thomas the apostle in the richmond district. Investigators say the suspect broke through a window, then spent five hours in that empty school, eventually making off with the computers. Hes been identified as 20 30 justin raab of San Francisco. Surveillance video was a key piece of evidence. Mr. Raab was in custody with San Mateo County, which is an outside agency. A stud thurn Police Station officer was able to identify him based on knowing that there was a suspect in custody with San Mateo County, who resembled the suspect depicted in the surveillance photo with San Francisco.

Locals say this is actually turning out to be one of the busiest summers theyve ever seen, but along with more people comes more trash, more traffic, and more trouble overall, and tahoe area residents say they are fed up. I dont blame them. Everybody should pick up their trash. We always do, you know . I always bring trash bags and take them back. I think around here kind of feels like the fourth of july every day or every weekend. The locals here have kind of a sense of respect just because this is our home and we feel passionate about wanting to keep the lake very pristine. And you can get a sense of the problems just by looking at these pictures. Look at that it shows all the trash that is piled up and left behind after a busy weekend, even though its by those dumpsters. Those dumpsters were overflowing. The locals say their message is dont trash tahoe. I would agree. My motto would be carry in, youve got to carry out. The dumpster is full . Put it in the car and take it home.
