Happy New Year! We wanted to let everyone know of an opportunity to support an old family friend and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at once. A long time friend of the family, Bob Williams, is running his 5th Boston marathon this year and is raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you would, please take a look at his site: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ma/boston09/bwilliadtr.
Nick did get to spend New Year's at home with mom, dad and his brothers.
Thank you for your support and prayers for Nick.

Nick is an amazing 6 year old fighting T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was diagnosed at 4 years old on Oct. 15, 2008 and here is the story of his courageous battle. This day changed our lives forever. Nick seemed very healthy at the time and the only signs we noticed were swollen lymph nodes on his neck. At first, we thought it could be a virus, but after 2 rounds of blood tests, the doctors confirmed our worst fear, cancer. This site is to show how strong our little boy is.
Update:
Nicholas finished treatment on 11/18/2010. He will continue to go for blood work for the next 3 years. He is still in remission.

Thanks for stopping by Mollie's blog. It's good to see Nick doing so well! I'm not too familiar with the T-cell ALL protocols, but as it turns out, our pharmacists son had T-cell ALL and has been off therapy for 3 years. Hang in there with the rest of the shots!
