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.
We celebrated Patrick and were Chillin' with Chalk...

As we sat decorating our front walk with colorful chalk, I could feel the joy of life. I am so happy that we could celebrate the joy of Patrick's life and the completion of this long, painful journey. Thank you Beth for helping me to remember the truly important things in life and to celebrate life in such a fun way...with sidewalk chalk and family!!!!
Our family Chillin' With Chalk on Saturday August 13, 2005...
Big hugs and lots of love from our family to yours.
