Last time Doc Schoozenbootz saw me he hadn't seen me for 7 weeks prior. He was astounded by my hair growth and then told me I should shave it off! Not so weird, really, as he is tight with the folks at the Leukemia foundation and knows that their 'shave for a cure' campaign is around the aniversary date of my transplant.
In fact my 'shave' date is March 16th,2008! My anniversary of getting my new cells, actually Rick's old ones, he had some to spare! So I am fundraising for them, starting........NOW.
So if you would like to sponsor me and give a bit back to the folks that helped me and continue to help many others that have much greater fights then I, please donate by seeing me in person, or online at my shave webpage. It is tax deductible here in Oz and since there is a tax pact between Canada and Australia I believe it is tax deducible there as well. If you prefer my Canadian pals please make a donation to your local Leukemia Association, and send me a notice so I can add it to my total here. I'm shooting really really high. since I now have expectation of reaching my next birthday I'm raising $100.00 for each of those years. I reckon that's reasonable. So I'm looking at $5600.00 as a total! I hope that you can help me as approximately 9,000 people are diagnosed with leukaemias, lymphomas and myeloma each year; the equivalent of 25 people per day. Leukaemia is the number one childhood cancer in Australia but predominantly develops in young adults and older people in the community. The Foundation supports patients and their families so they can concentrate on what’s most important - getting well.
Thanks for your attention
more later
Chris
