>Lynn,
You are a saint, thank you so much for the info, I passed it on to Hailey's mother. Where are you now? Best wishes to you also, especially from a former Kittanian.

Sam,
> Here are a few sites that you can check for additional information about childhood cancer. I used to live in Kittanning, and would do anything to help out someone in my home town. Hope that these sites get you the information that you are looking for. My best wishes go out to your daughter's friend.
> American Cancer Society
> lots of information on a wide variety of cancer topics
> www.cancer.org
> Candlelighters
> a support organization for parents of children with cancer, they have a free newsletter that you can subscribe to
> www.candlelighters.org
> Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
> excellent treatment facility in the region for childhood cancer, look for oncology/hematology links within the website
> www.chp.edu
> > > Jimmers, One more sorry about the slap from Becky Beck.... sisters can be so funny sometimes....ANYHOW....can you give me more information on "Cancer Sux", my daughter's best-friend Hailey (she is 3 years old) has been diagnosed with Lukemia (ALL) and we are looking for everything we can get with regards to the disease and support for her parents, there is not much here in Virginia and thought maybe you would have some info. It seems from what you have there may be something we could use. Much appreciated in advance Jimmers and sorry again.
> > Someday I will get things strait before I write, got miscombobulated with regards to the info I was writing in the first email. I have been doing research for Hailey's family regarding her disease, but I run into a lot of roadblocks on info and the library is useless, my reasoning for asking if you know anywhere to look with regards to information on "Cancer", now as for the CANCER SUX benefit I will keep checking and if I am in Kittanning for the benefit I will be there....I also just lost my favorite aunt to cancer....and another has been diagnosed....this disease SUX because it does not matter how young or old you are. What you are doing is great, thanks Jimmers and keep me up to date on the benefit or I will keep checking the site....Sam
