Perhaps some folks will see this as inappropriate, but I wanted to remind IIS members that our mate Alex is battling cancer and needs our moral support. I had a text conversation with Alex this morning, and he is struggling with his situation, yet he still took the time to contact me to ask about my hospital procedure a few days ago; that's the kind of mate he is.
Alex is bedridden at the moment, but still has big astronomy plans for when he can get up.
Please take some time to support Alex in his battle, and in keeping up his spirits. You can do this through communicating with him here on IIS, be it through his existing threads, private messages, or posting in this thread, which i hope he will read.
Alex's ID on IIS is: xelasnave.
