Thank you to everyone who supported us last weekend. We had a great day and everyone had fun. Malcolm had a special red "survivor" T=shirt to wear and he was the youngest person in a red shirt at the event. Jan's parents came out and cheered us on and we saw a few friends - one was a very special friend, a little boy who was down the hall from Malcolm the very first month Malcolm was in. This other little boy had just been diagnosed with the other kind of leukemia (ALL) and was also just starting his treatment. He has done really well and has not had to spend much time in hospital. He is now on the "maintenance"phase which is almost entirely at home and we sincerely hope he continues to do so well. Every time we go to the hospital we are reminded that while Malcolm's journey has ended there are others still walking down that path...kudos to all of you who either supported cancer research through us or do so in other ways...
In just five days we raised over $1,000! We thought that was great and hope to be a bit more organized next year so that we can raise even more. Donovan made our "Team Malcolm" sign and carried it until he found an interesting caterpillar to collect, which we ended up bringing home and nurturing for several days in a cup, until it made its great escape. I should mention that if you still want to donate it is certainly never too late - just click on the link in the previous post.
