I wish this hadn't gotten buried in the pay it forward forum.

Blueboard never sold, just sent a donation though. Hope everything is going well for Natalie.

[size=4][color=#222222]Just a FYI for everyone...Natalie is starting her second round of chemo on Friday. Her hair is unfortunately starting to fall out slowly. We have a benefit this weekend in Warwick RI where we have about 56 people scheduled to have their heads shaved at a local barber shop - with the shop donating all of the proceeds. I'll keep everyone posted. [/color]

[color=#222222]Thank you all again. [/color][/size]

Gunner - many aren't aware of this, but there's a VERY worthwhile organization called "Children with hair loss" which can help Natalie, or any other child dealing with hairloss from chemo, forms of alopecia, etc. at no cost to the family. My business deals with hairloss for individuals of all ages, including children, but CGWL, is a non-profit group that your family might want to look in ro. Unlike "locks of love" this is a legitimate answer for children and their families. They change lives for the better every single day. If you need further info or just have a question, please shoot me a PM.

Hi guys. Quick update. Two rounds of chemo have been completed. Natalie recently needed a blood transfusion over the weekend. Round 3 of chemo has been scheduled. She is in good spirits but very tired most of the day. She has a strong family support system around her though. Thank you all again and I'll keep the updates coming.

Hello all. As of yesterday afternoon, Natalie's port was takne out. After months of chemo, she is now officially cancer free. Thank you again to everyone on WRX.

Wow! Read the whole thread, I cannot believe that I missed this post! Would have loved to help the cause! Glad to hear a happy ending to this story!

Just read this whole thread, awesome ending! Wish I had seen it before, as a fellow Rhode Islander I would have pitched in.

Hey guys. It has been a while since I have given an update. Natalie has been cancer free for over two years now. All of her hair has come back, and it's actually super curly and red now. She is super excited to start elementary school in September and she is now healthy enough to compete on our town's local traveling gymnastics team. I saw this thread was still pinned, and it reminded me of how awesome WRX is.

 

- JIM
