When Michelle initially relapsed on May 7 she immediately started chemotherapy to temporarily ward off her cancer. We knew a bone marrow transplant was her only chance at long term survival, but also knew she didn’t have a donor match. We hoped six weeks would give us enough time to find a match while also preventing her from having to undergo more chemotherapy, but unfortunately June 21st has quickly come upon us and we’re still searching.

Michelle will be starting another round of chemo in the coming weeks to make sure her leukemia stays in remission. In the meanwhile, I plea for all of you to keep up your amazing efforts. The more people we get registered during the next month, the more we improve Michelle’s odds of starting the bone marrow transplant process without unnecessary chemotherapy. Each additional round of chemo that Michelle is put through deteriorates her health and increases the chances of her leukemia growing stronger and more immune to treatment.

Thank you for continuing to fight for Michelle, we need all of the support possible as we continue the search!
