I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma at 22 months of age. I had 5 rounds of regular dose chemotherapy, 1 round of mega dose chemotherapy followed by an autologus stem cell transplant(I got my own stem cells back). Spent a week in ICU. Followed by another round of mega dose chemotherapy and another autologus stem cell transplant. I am two years since my second transplant and by the Grace of God I am in REMISSION. Mom says God allowed me to go through all of this to get some very important work done in the life of our family and our church.
"TODAY IS A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD.
SAY THANK YOU AND TEAR INTO IT.
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
No ocean can hold it back--
No river can overtake it--
No whirlwind can go faster--
No army can defeat it--
No law can stop it--
No distance can slow it--
No disease can cripple it--
No force on earth is more powerful or effective...
THAN THE POWER OF PRAYER.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
The dove of peace flies around the world,
Save her, and put her on your site, too.
Walk With Me
Take my hand hold it tight
and walk this path with me
I am too afraid to venture alone
and the end of the road cannot see
I have traveled this way far too long
and it has not been a pleasent trip
At times I am scared, tired and lost
too weak and I stumble and slip
A tender touch a loving hug
might be all the help I need
A gentle nudge full of love
will help me to succeed
Life's path is long with pitfalls
we sometimes loose our way
When we are wandering aimlessly
there's no difference from night or day
A little ray of sunshine
to lighten a troubled heart
His hand upon my shoulder
as life's journeys I embark
The narrow road has widened
the end is now so clear
With Jesus as my partner
no longer do I fear

Monday March 12, 2007 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR WESTON! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Dear Family and Friends,
I’m shaving my head. Yes, I did say shave my head. I have recently registered to under the clippers during a St. Baldrick’s Foundation event to raise funds for childhood cancer research.
I am passionate about childhood cancer research. Because we are a family touched by childhood cancer. Weston was diagnosed at 22 months of age with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. God brought us through 5 rounds of regular dose chemotherapy, 2 mega doses of chemotherapy, 2 auto stem cell transplants and a stay in the ICU. By the grace of God Weston is in remission. That does not mean he is cured. At his last visit to the clinic, I was informed that the doctors would never be able to tell me that Weston’s cancer won’t come back. This is unacceptable to me. God brought many wonderful families into our lives when Weston was going through treatment and they are still good friends of ours today. I am shaving my head in memory of Courtney Howard, Griffin Yarbrough, and Elisha Henderson. I am shaving my head in honor of Weston Teel, Peyton White, and Logan Cherry. These 6 children and all of the others who battle cancer bravely and still somehow manage to be kids are my heros. Help me to help my heros.
Since its inception in 2000. St. Baldrick’s has raised more than $20 million and grown into the world’s largest fundraising event for childhood cancer. Worldwide 160,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer each year and despite tremendous progress, cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada.
St. Baldrick’s research grants help fill crucial funding gaps at medical institutions where children are treated for cancer, ensuring the finest care for every child. In 2006, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation granted over $4 million to a network of 230 institutions who work together to develop the most advanced treatment techniques. The foundation also granted more than $1 million to other hospitals for research fellowships and projects to cure childhood cancer.
While battling cancer, children lose not only their hair but years of their childhood, and sometimes their lives. In comparison to their struggle, shaving my head is a small sacrifice, and the money raised will make a difference for children with cancer now and in the future.
So, I am asking you to help me raise as much money as I can for the foundation - both to justify this crazy decision, and to fund as much research as possible! No amount is too big or too small- every gift will be appreciated. Please help me reach my goal of $5000.00 by March 24, 2007.
To donate online, visit www.stbaldricks.org, click on “DONATE” and search for me by filling in my first and last name under “Find a Participant.” Then click on my picture and complete the donation transaction. You can also donate over the phone by calling 888-899-BALD. I will also be collecting donations at work and at home. You can call me at 972/841-5063 if you have any questions.
I hope you will join me at Trinity hall on March 24, 2007 at 2:00pm to watch as I help Shave the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!
Sincerely,
Sherrie Kincaid Teel.
