p.s I have uncovered an issued with the fundraising site. For some reason I cannot get it to scroll thruogh all the supporter names on the TEAM JLO site. However the main event page has them all, as well as TEAM donation standings. You'll see how much of an impact we are having. You can CLICK HERE to see that info.

Please note that all donations to TEAM JLO must be made on the TEAM PAGE.

This time last year...

I know many of us would rather just put it behind us, but I think it's important to think back one year ago. And think about how mom was doing health-wise, how she was feeling, how she looked... It was not a pretty sight. Everyone of us wanted to think the absolute best outcome, but to be honest it was difficult (sometimes). The good news however, is when we stop remembering the past and start focusing on the present and seeing how well Mom is doing 1 year later. One year after all of those grimm reports, tests, and some jerk gave her only a few months.

At this point Mom is doing great. She just finished her 4th chemo and is set for 2 more treatments every 3 weeks. Aches and pains are really the bulk her side affects, but they don't slow her down for too long. Once she's finished with these next few chemo's the doctor has prescribed one chemotherapy a month for a whole year so that she can knock anything and everything out of her system. And at this point I don't even have to tell you her outlook. She continues with her steadfast ways, and won't let anything get her down... well maybe one thing.. PLEASE TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF WHEN YOU COME IN OUR HOUSE!!! That's about it though!

In the past few weeks, we've had a few additional TEAM JLO Supporters and I know Charlie is going to recognize them in a blog shortly. But I just wanted to ask that in this season of giving, only if you are able to donate just $10/$15 that would surely help us towards our goal. Times are tough, and money is tight (I'm finally starting to learn that with the purchase of my first new car), but life above all is most important. So keep the prayers and good thoughts coming!!

From our family to yours... HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON!!!

Johanna's Law Passed Today in Congress

I just received word from Robin Cohen from the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Alliance that Johanna's Law passed in the early hours of the morning today in the last session on the 109th Congress. This was a huge battle fought by a nation wide grass roots effort. Sheryl Silver, the sister of Johanna spearheaded this legislation and 2 years later finally got it through. Thank you to all of you who made calls to your representatives and senators. I know each call helped.

This was a new expierence for me in my life. I have never before had the oppertunity to impact or be involved with legislation, and I must say I loved it.
The picture attaced is a picture of Johanna Silver Gordon the woman whom this bill was named for. Click here for more info on the increadible legislation.

Thank you again
