The next chapter...

What has been a successful mailed out newsletter documenting our Kidney Cancer experience since 2001, will now begin the continued story via the internet...

For the many recipients that have received the "Rachel's Gift" newsletter free of charge for the past seven years,  we welcome you to the next chapter that has begun!  What began with what was to be a thank you card to 40 people for their love, support and comfort, that actually became "my gift of thanks to you" in the form of a newsletter that now has above 200 recipients, we continue to keep in touch in a new and more personal way!

This is a new and exciting journey! We will share the continued appreciation for life, after cancer in many ways. The first great news to share, is that July became the seventh year cancer-free!!! 

As for the American Cancer Society "RELAY FOR LIFE" event in Dana Point this past April, we raised over $58,000.00! With "KC CREW" fundraising over $10,000.00 of that, with the generous help of Pam and the 74 people that came through the 24 hour walk as part of our team of family, and friends! Thank you all! Let's do it again May 2,3, 2009!

This is my first entry! Please feel free to comment and share our appreciation and positive atmosphere with others. This is a work in progress, please be patient!
