David, this is such a worthy cause.

My father died of leukemia at the age of 52. :cry:

I donated.

Thanks David

Thanks for this information.

My husband was diagnosed with leukemia in May, 2001. He finished his second round of chemo a few months ago. We're learning lots about this disease....they believe his particular kind could have been instigated from his bouts with very agressive skin cancer. He has a triangular piece of upper arm skin grafted under one eye.......being a red-head....and working over 35 years in an outdoor job (surveyor) surely added to his challenges. .......p :roll:

Petal, it is stories like yours that makes this all the more important. Your husband's profession, which I worked in for a few years, supports my profession of Civil Engineering with data collection and construction staking. Let him know that you both are in our prayers.
