Chillin' With
Chalk!
Celebrating the end of Patrick's Treatments!
On May 17th, 2002,
Patrick was diagnosed with leukemia. On August 2nd, 2005, he
will finish his treatment! All signs point to a complete
recovery. Patrick's family is celebrating on August 13th, 2005 by
inviting everyone to come to their "Chillin' With Chalk" celebration.
For those of us who cannot be there and want to celebrate with
their family, this board has been set up. So here is the
drill... all you have to do is spend some time with your child
making a work of art with sidewalk chalk and then post a picture of your artwork it here
with your words of congratulations for Patrick and family.
Note that one
other element of the celebration will be to donate money raised
at the event to the Kaiser Pediatric Oncology Clinic in
Sacramento to help those who continue to fight the battle
against leukemia. If you would like to make a donation in Patrick's name,
you can do this by going to the Pay Pal Site and then clicking on the "send money" tab. Then simply send the money to boquist1@yahoo.com and it will be forwarded to the hospital.

Beth,
I can't begin to tell you what an inspiration that you, and Patrick have been to me over these past 3 years. Ryan was just born 3 days after Patrick's diagnosis, and I found this board soon after that. I don't get to post alot, but I have always looked forward to your updates and have always kept the two of you in my prayers. The two of you have been through so much, and have done it so gracefully, and I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am that this is behind you! Unknowingly, your journey has helped to encourage me many times when I needed it, and I want to thank you for that!
Congratulations on getting through this chapter, and so look forward to your continuing updates as Patrick goes out and conquers the world! There's no stopping him now!!
