The following
are two of the children who are being helped by the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society and who would be helped by your donation.
 Natalie Orlando
Natalie is 4 . She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia (ALL) in August 2007. She started chemo (on my birthday),
Aug 31st and will continue on chemo for a total of 2.5 years! She has
always been a very joyful little person... and chemo has not seemed
to stop that! She has her difficult days, but we are continually
amazed at her resilience and her ability to still be such an
inspiration of joy to those around her.

 Marissa
Shaffer
Marissa Shaffer is a Leukemia survivor and she is 10 years old. She
was born in Santa Cruz
on Thanksgiving Day. When she was 2 ¾ she started to get sick. She
was tired a lot of the time, and anemic, and
she didn't want to go on walks anymore. A blood test showed that she
didn't have enough red blood cells. The doctors diagnosed Transient Erythropenia of Childhood (TEC), a condition
where the body stops producing red blood cells, and then
spontaneously starts. Marissa had to have a blood transfusion. After
a week, more blood tests showed that the condition had not changed.
Another blood transfusion, and a second
visit to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford for a bone
marrow aspiration gave a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on
September 18th 2001.

 Cameron King
Cameron King in May 2008 had the flu. After seeing his doctor he
still had a fever. He was taken to the Scotts Valley Medical Clinic
since he had a fever for so long and the doctor drew his blood. The
results were a very high white blood count and we were told it could
be Leukemia. The doctor told us to drive up to Lucille Packard and
there will be a room for Cameron. Cameron was diagnosed with Leukemia
- ALL t-cell. The doctor said that ALL is very treatable. Cameron was
out of the hospital after 7 days and even surprised the doctors!!!!!
We feel so blessed from God and Jesus above and having Lucille
Packard and the team of doctors and nurses care for Cameron.
He has done so well with all the treatments and now he is in the
maintenance stage where he still receives some chemo, but so much
less than before. He has been back at school most days since January
and will start First Grade next year. He has about a year more of
treatments. We feel so grateful to the Team In Training for running
in Cameron's honor! Thank you so much!!
