This message is from: ceacy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello List,
I thought I would let everyone know that Julia Will won the drawing for her donation to the Blain Whitcomb fund. I recently celebrated my birthday with the Whitcombs and had a wonderful visit with Blain. Things were looking positive and the tumors had all but disappeared. That was on Dec. 28, however, since then things have taken a turn and it now appears that the tumor on his back has infiltrated his spinal column. Last Wed. he woke up paralyzed from the waist down. There will be no more trips to Japan and the next direction for treatment is unclear. So, whatever your faith may be, please send positive energy out there for Blain. He is a brave little boy and his family needs all the support they can get. If you still want to make a donation to help the family with the astronomical medical bills they are coping with you can send a check to The Blain Whitcomb Benefit Fund, c/o NYLLA, Gwen Pierre, Tucker Road, New Woodstock, NY 13122-9753 . I am going out to see them next week and perhaps I will be able to give a more uplifting update then. Thank you to everyone who sent a donation for Blain, if only you all could know him and his love of animals and his quiet strength and optimism about life. I think of him daily and am inspired to try harder to overcome obstacles with the same grace as he has faced his ordeal. May the new millenium bring a cure for cancer and an end to such suffering. Thank you for this forum , Sincerely, Ceacy Henderson, Colrain, Ma.
