I'm Feeling The Love...

I want to thank everyone who has written in my guest book over the last month and a half. I’ve read every entry that’s been posted, some twice. I appreciate your words of encouragement and prayers for me and my family.

If you have a moment, we populated the section “People Who Inspire Me” as I’ve journeyed down this road of cancer. I met many people, both children and adults who have also been afflicted, some survived and too many have succumbed. I’ve been honored to be, or, to have been part of their lives. If you have some time, take a few minutes to read their stories; I hope they will inspire you as they have me.

Lastly, we’re doing a couple fundraisers to help offset my medical expenses. Currently, two things in the works; first, our family friend Mike Lacey, who owns the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, is having a fund raiser for me; he’s going to donate all the proceeds from ticket sales for the February 2, 2004 show. This is so unbelievable and since I’m already scheduled to be in California during this time period, I’ll be at the show. Comedian Evan Davis is going to be headlining, he is very, very funny. Tickets are $15.00 and we’ve created a link to Comedy & Magic Club’s website if you’re interested in attending.

The second is silicone wristbands (like Livestrong) only they’re lavender, the Hodgkin’s color. On the top is says; Fight 2 Win The bottom says; www.alesecoco.org - There’s a limited quantity available and we created a page for wristbands that’s accessible from the home page.

Never lose hope and always Fight 2 Win,
-Alese
