maintanence keep it coming

Bob went to the Dr. on the 17th. He was put into the long period of the Maintenance chemo. He will start next wens. The treatment will be 4 weeks once a week. He will then be off for 4 weeks. This will rotate for 20 months. He is very up beat about this. He got a good report from the doctor. His CT came back clean. We haven't heard anything about the bone marrow bx. I am expecting this to be clean also.

Thank you for all of your support.

We have had a great support from everyone for raising our funds. We are about Half way there. Not to bad for only actually doing this for 3 wks.
THANKS to everyone that order pizza. We raised$200. Alec's school sponsered a fundraiser on Wens. Every child that dressed wacky paid a $1. They raised over $230. Great job kids!!!!

A reminder: they are selling bracelets for Cassie Horracks. They are $3 a bracelet. If you didn't know, Cassie was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on her brain stem. Cassie was in Caitlan's class. If you see someone with the bracelets, please buy one.

It is coming along.

We are doing well on our fundraising. We have sold (ask for donations) at the Mizzou/Illini game last Saturday. We also sold beads at the Litchfield football last Friday nite. If you are wanting raffle tickets for a half of side of beef, send me an email. We are selling spots for HEE HAW bingo. Yes it is a redneck thing. If you don't know what it is, we sell squares for money. You pick a square where you thinks the steaming pie will land. Many use a steer but we are doing at the football game on Oct. 17th. We thought a pony would be better for kids.

We had a yard sale at the Moose this past Saturday. We sold over $1000. Boy that was alot of work. For the rest of the home football games we will be selling the raffle tickets and spots. Some of the girls will be going to other towns homecoming's to sell beads.

Sept. 16th will be our fundraiser at Pizza Hut. You will need a coupon. We will get 20% of every one's bill from 5 to 8.

Oct 8th McDonalds' will be having their Fire Safety night. They will be having a raffle going to our cause. We will also be out there selling the beef raffle.

Our big fundraiser will be on OCT 18th. KEEP THAT OPEN!!!!!!!

We are doing a scavenger hunt/ dinner/ dance at Shaw's. $25 a couple or $15 a person. We hope to have this as our thank you to everyone that has given us support. Please make sure you will be there.

My training is going well. I am getting better at running for longer periods without having to stop to walk. I am up to 3 miles a day. Within that I am running at least half of it. The best part I have lost over 10lbs. YEH

Everyone keep these dates open.
Hope to see you at one of these.

Thank you for your help and support.
