Lady of the Miraculous Medal -
Directions 09/20/04 - This morning, Lynne lost her battle with cancer. Lynne's Family has asked us to thank all of you for your well wishes, prayers and your generous donations. As you know, Lynne was never able to make that trip for treatment that your donations were to go towards. The checks, that were never used or cashed, will be destroyed, unless by specific request someone would like their check returned. Lynne's life was enhanced by the knowledge that so many people cared for her. 06/30/04 - Update - Lynne and her family want to thank all of you for your generous donations. Lynne has had a few setbacks, including a fractured hip, that have prevented her from traveling to the cancer center in Texas, for treatment. That is the reason why your thoughtful and generous donation checks (made out to the Burzynski Clinic) have not been cashed to date. We will keep you advised on Lynne's progress. She is a fighter! 2003
Well right now Lynne is fighting for her life and needs our help. Lynne has been accepted into a special program that could add time to her life. The problem is... It's not covered by insurance! Can you help? Of course you can. We all can afford $10, $20 or $30 dollars for a good cause. And this is a good cause! If every family that adopted a Boxer from NBR last year (~500), sent in $25, We could get Lynne through the first round of treatments! (~$12,500) If every family that adopted a Boxer from NBR for the past two years (~1000), sent in $25, We could get Lynne through the first and second rounds of treatments! (~$25,000) And if you can give more, than so much the better. This is not a big organization asking for your money. This is a grass roots effort to try to help someone who has helped out so many others. If you have added to your family a happy four legged creature with Lynne's help, or even if your new addition came from a different NBR volunteer, I'm sure your pup would gladly give up that next toy so that you can donate to this cause. Please, right now while you are thinking of it, time is of the essence... Send a check for what ever amount you can. This is not a tax deductible donation, but believe me you will feel very good just doing it. Treatment is expected to begin in approximately four weeks. By the fourth month we will know if she is responding to treatment. If all goes well, treatment will continue for one year. Please make your check out to:
Thank you and And of course, please stop by here often to get progress reports on Lynne. |
