Matthew turned 11 yrs old yesterday and has been off treatment for Leukemia (Acute Lymphcytic) for 3 1/2 yrs now! Friday he walked in the survivor lap in our local Relay for Life festivities and fundraiser. He's the only boy holding the banner in the photos. This is the third year he's walked and the third year he's got to hold the banner as they always have the kids hold it. Then we clap all the survivors around the track!


So I thought I'd show you some pics. Matthew is doing GREAT and loves his teacher this year in school and moving on to the intermediate school (5th grade...and sixth) next year! We are more than proud!


Sydney (mommy to Matthew diagnosed Leukemia Oct 13, 2000. Off treatment Dec. 13th, 2003.)
