My Story

Abby's Journey began April 12, 2006, when she was admitted to Childrens Hospital in Minneapolis, diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma, N-MYC amplified, unfavorable histology. She reached official NED status on Sept. 18, 2006 (on her 5th birthday). Her next round of tests will be July 2009.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

April 12.... Easter Sunday, was Abby's 3rd anniversary of being diagnosed with NB.  As Abby is doing great, we are not out of the woods with this beast.  I just read about a little boy that relapsed after almost 4 years of being NED.  And many of Abby's warrior friends are still fighting for their lives.  Karen, the mother of little Kate with neuroblastoma (from Minneapolis and who we know),  has organized a fundraiser that involves her and her Aunt paddling the entire Grand Canyon in a raft! What an awesome undertaking to help support the Band of Parents! I encourage people to go to the site http://www.firstgiving.com/paddlingforacure and donate.

Thank you for those that are still following Abby's journey!!  We pray that she stays happy and healthy.  We also pray for Abby's friends that are still fighting so very hard to beat this beast.
