I went to a meeting a couple of weeks ago to kick off this event. I was very impressed. I was able to meet many people who have been affected by this organization in a positive way. I realized that I was doing the right thing. Considering all of this has been so new to us all. I know many of you have constantly asked if there is anything you could do or even felt sorry for us. Unfortunately, many times there was nothing you can do but, pray for all of us. Now, if each of you either participate or donate to Soren's Team you are helping us and many others out there who can only pray that one day there will be a cure! Your donations help with research, as well as families that live here in the valley who may not have health insurance or even a ride to the hospital. Leukemia took the lives of 6 people(19-35 years of age) during the month of June, 2007 here in Fresno. It affects everyone young and old. I am very glad that many of you have chosen to walk with us for such a great cause. I understand that many of you are unable to attend but, I ask that you make a donation anything would be greatly appreciated. It can be something as small making a sandwich for lunch and donating your lunch money. For those of you who are walking please try to raise at least $ 100 dollars. That can be asking 5 people for ten dollars and two for 25.Whatever you chose to do know that you are making a difference. I apologize for not being as involved as I would have liked to be. This whole bed rest thing really threw me off. I know now that my team most likely will not meet it's goal. But just know every little bit does make a difference!
Welcome Friends and Family
I do want to start by saying thank you! I know your support and prayers have given me the strength I need. We are all very grateful to have so many people praying for us everyday! I know at first everyone was calling and wanting to know what happened? The problem was we still didn't understand what had happened. It all happened so fast. So...I do apologize for not communicating but, it was very difficult for me. It seemed the only time I knew what was going on was when I was explaining it to someone and it was like the nightmare kept repeating over and over as I would explain it. Then we began to have many people ask us what we needed. The problem with that was we did not know what we needed. I know my answer usually was prayers and that is something we can always use. I tried to email friends but, even that was hard. For those of you that know me I am blind without my glasses, and crying plus typing at the same time is practically impossible. So I hope this page can keep everyone stay informed and updated. Thank you for all your support, prayers, cards, and gifts. Soren was very happy with all his new fun toys, this really helps him stay busy playing all day. It is very comforting knowing that so many people are there for us!

Finally
Soren is now in the interim maintenance phase. He should be in this phase for about two months and then it will get crazy. So in this phase he can be normal. The only thing is now I can't do anything. However, dad took him to the zoo and they had tons of fun! We just have to be extremely careful since it is now flu season. Soren is feeling much better he is mommy's little helper. Thank you for your prayers!
