I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in June of 2007. I did 6 months of chemotherapy and 2 1/2 weeks of radiation. At which point I was cancer free!!!! In November of 2010 I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After several months of blood transfusions and extreme chemotherapy sessions I was placed on a list to recieve a Bone Marrow Transplant. March 31st, 2011, I received the gift of life from a wonderful anonymous woman that I hope to meet one day!!

Relay for Life 2008
This year I have decided to get involved with Relay For Life. We (Josh, Jane, Taylor & Hailey) will be participating on June 21-22nd at Johansen High School in Modesto, California.
"At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue."
I'm asking you as a Cancer Survivor to please help me raise money to support the fight against cancer. There are two ways of raising money. One is a straight donation made to the American Cancer Society and the other is by donating $10.00 for a Luminaria? A Luminaria (pictured above) is simply a bag filled with sand and a small candle that makes it glow. Each Luminaria bears the name of a person who has battled cancer. There is a special Luminaria Ceremony at each Relay For Life event.
If you are interested in making a donation, please email me at janeandjosh@verizon.net.
xoxo
