The above photo was taken in Manuel Antonio National Park at the white sand beach. This is what we want to see done to cancer...washed away and eliminated!
Welcome to Ali's site! She was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia)pre B cell on August 26, 2002, when she was 15 years old. She followed POG 9905B, taking daily chemotherapy with numerous treatments and setbacks. On Easter Sunday 2005, Ali took her last oral chemotherapy. On May 1, 2005 we celebrated ALi's 18th Birthday, Off Treatment and upcoming high school Graduation!! On June 5th, Ali's sister Lex and I rode 100 miles around Lake Tahoe on a TNT ride for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fundraiser in honor of Ali.
On June 4th of 2006, Ali's brother, her dad and I rode 100 miles around Tahoe once more in honor of Ali and in memory of our 6 year old friend Angel Ben

"What does a cow take for cancer?"
"KEMOO!" This was our friends Mark and Gorete's rental car plates when they came to visit. Being a cow lover, I couldn't pass up the photo op of Ali and the KEMOO plates!

9 June, 2009 I copied this from Marielle's Mom...she gave me permission to borrow...please look into it...and if you live further away please check your area
Please. Think about it. You can sign up by just having a cheek swab...no blood draw necessary.
You go on the registry and wait. If you happen to be a match, the donation now a days, is very similar to a blood bank donation. They hook you up to a machine, your blood goes in, they take the stem cells and then the rest of the blood goes back into your body. This takes about 3 hours.
Think about it...YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE. YOU COULD BE A HERO.
This month, the national registry is waiving the fee in a marathon to gather donors. That's right, you can sign up for NO FEE.
Leukemia does not know discrimination. It is insidious...it goes after young and old, white, black, yellow, brown...it doesn't matter. It went after my child and we were "lucky", all she needed was chemotherapy. Think about it, it's lucky that all we needed was years of chemotherapy.
There are those who are not so lucky, those who can only hope to survive with a bone marrow transplant. But what if you need a transplant and there is no match?
YOU COULD BE A HERO.
Go to one of the "Marrowathons":
