Cancer sucks

Many of you know Stacey, our assistant. 🤩 She's a rock star at answering your emails and cheering you on while you plan your trip.

Stacey is also married to Toby, Brett's best friend for 20+ years!

Stacey and Toby's 14-year old daughter, Bella, was suddenly diagnosed with cancer last week.

We are grieving with their family and are trying to support them as best as possible from across the ocean.

1 | Pray

Their family ask for your prayers.

We're praying for Bella to respond well to treatment and ultimately for healing. We're praying that Stacey and Toby can be present and peaceful with Annabelle and her little sister, Emma.

2 | Support

You can follow along on Bella's journey to beat Leukemia here.

CaringBridge is like a blog that you can subscribe to for an email every time there's a new update on Bella.

We feel so loved and are beyond amazed at the outpouring of support we have received so far. –Stacey + Toby

3 | Give

Unfortunately cancer isn't cheap. But Bella is worth every penny!

If you would like, their family would be so grateful for a financial donation. (No pressure, but we know that some of you would like to share your generosity.)

Send on Venmo to @Toby-Brown-18

God has provided for needs before we realized we had the need! –Stacey + Toby

4 | Write

If you'd like to write Stacey, Toby, Annabelle, and Emma a note, you can reply to this email and we will forward your message to them!

Reader, could you be a Jeopardy contestant?

Let's test it out with an easy quiz question:

Switzerland has the world's....

Select all that are TRUE.

Steepest cogwheel railway
First revolving cablecar
Longest pedestrian suspension bridge
Highest underground railway
Slowest express train
Oldest vegetarian restaurant

Scroll down to see if you have the correct answer(s)!

👆Those are screenshots from my phone.

I have a Note titled "Switzerland Notes and Ideas and Facts."

It's super long. Like, it takes at least 10 seconds to scroll all the way to the bottom.

Every time I read or hear something interesting about this country, I jot it down here.

(This is where most of our Fascinating Switzerland Facts come from in every newsletter!)

Thus, why I might qualify as a contestant for Swiss Jeopardy. 🤓 I have a feeling Brett could easily bring home a few thousand dollars too!

But until then, we'll share our random but very interesting knowledge with you in a new video.

Behind the Scenes

A brief look at our lives behind the camera and computer.

PLANNING: Brett's parents are coming to visit, so we're planning some fun experiences to do together. (Including a few research trips!)

EDITING: our 1-Day City Guide to Lucerne. We've enhanced our city walking tour. We've upgraded transportation instructions and charts. We've expanded the afternoon options. Once it's finished, we'll let ya know! (And if you've already bought it, you'll get the updated version for free, thanks to lifetime updates!)

TAPERING: Brett has one week until the Jungfrau Marathon. 🏃‍♂️ He's reducing the volume of his runs and strength workouts to arrive at race day as fresh (but as fit!) as possible.
