Thursday we were joined in studio by Mike and Karen Donnell. Mike is a coaching legend in New Hampshire and most recently, his Pembroke Academy Boys Basketball team won the NHIAA Division 2 championship in March at the Lundholm Gym in Durham. Last week Coach Donnell resigned his post at Pembroke Academy as he experienced a period of feeling tired and lacking the energy of which he’s always had plenty. Later that day he received a call from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute informing him that cancer had returned to his liver and lungs. He now will be going for biopsies. His wife, Karen, a cancer survivor, has been his “rock” through this journey and a tremendous source of support for Mike throughout the years in their many endeavors and adventures.
