It's Week 2 of Term 4 and I haven't (yet) gotten sick. It's a miracle! The last 3 terms have seen me sick every Week 2. Twice in hospital and once just at home. I'm so pleased. Now to just hold out and not get sick at all for the rest of this week and then for the rest of the term.
Because of my terrible past history I've only just signed up to go to this Light the Night walk in Bruce Rock. I was away in New Zealand for the Perth event and MR's Mum has kindly organised this one in MR's home town. Isn't she a champion?
For those not in the know, I have Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia. This type of leukaemia is the one that is closest to having a cure found for it. Currently, there are these 'wonder drugs' that mean we (usually) don't need chemo or a bone marrow transplant. I am lucky enough that I can take these tablets and have a good quality of life. I work three days a week due to fatigue issues but apart from a few aches now and again and a reduced immune level I am all good. Many people suffering from blood cancers are not so lucky however and every dollar you can spare goes towards finding cures for Leukaemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma and other types of blood cancers.
So, you have exactly two days to generously dig deep for some loose change (or your credit card) and donate to my cause right here. You could donate just $5 - like I said, every dollar really does help (and is tax deductible).
Thanks so much in advance!

Yay, I'll see you there :)
MR's Mum is a champion. I hope you stay well this week and this term too!! I don't participate in the LTN because I kind of feel I don't quite fit in.
